HAZELNUT CREAM CAKE

INGREDIENTS

• 6 eggs, separated
• 3/4 cup sugar, divided
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/3 cup dried bread crumbs (plain)
• 1 cup ground hazelnuts, divided
• 3 cups whipping cream
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbsp icing sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 325ºF with a rack in the middle position. Grease two 8" round pans and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Sprinkle on 1/4 cup of sugar, then continue beating to stiff peaks. Set aside.
3. In a second large bowl (use a stand mixer if you have one), beat the egg yolks until very thick and lemon coloured. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until blended (it will be thick, and light yellow in colour). Add the flour, breadcrumbs, and 2/3 cup of ground hazelnuts. Mix to combine, so there are no streaks of flour left.
