Time 55m

Yield 1 cake, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup blanched almond (ground)
3/4 cup hazelnuts (ground)
9 egg whites
1/4 cup cherry brandy (or cherry juice)
1/4 cup raspberry jam
1 pint whipping cream
24 hazelnuts
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Beat the egg yolks until thick. Add the sugar and beat. Add the ground nuts and mix well.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the yolk mixture.
  • Bake in 2 well-buttered layer-cake tins in a preheated moderate oven (350ยบ) until the top of the cake springs back quickly when you touch it. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Cover the top of each layer with half of the liqueur, then with a thin layer of the raspberry jam. Place one cake on top of the other.
  • Whip the cream and spread over top. Place whole hazelnuts here and there on the torte. Dust the top with powdered sugar.
