Number Of Ingredients 10

9 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup blanched almond (ground)
3/4 cup hazelnuts (ground)

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.

This torte is a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making other recipes, and this torte is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of hazelnuts, but I really enjoyed this torte. The filling is so rich and decadent that it makes up for the lack of nuts.

The crust on this torte was a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I would try using a different recipe for the crust next time.

I found this torte to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the filling by about half.

This hazelnut torte is a true delight! The nutty flavor of the hazelnuts pairs perfectly with the sweet filling, and the crust is flaky and buttery. I highly recommend this recipe.
