Preparation time: 1 hour
Creative Concept: Florence Wibowo
| Ingredients | ||
|---|---|---|
| 50 | g | Piedmont hazelnut paste |
| 100 | g | Piedmont hazelnut flour |
| 100 | g | Piedmont hazelnuts, chopped |
| 150 | g | Butter, room temperature |
| 90 | g | Sugar |
| 7 | Eggs | |
| 10 | g | Baking powder |
| Butter and flour for the baking tin | ||
Preparation:
- Separate the eggs and preheat the oven to 180 °C. Grease and flour the baking tin with butter. Beat the butter with ⅔ of the sugar and the hazelnut paste in a mixing bowl until frothy; gradually beat in the egg yolks. Mix the hazelnut flour with the baking powder and stir in together with the chopped nuts.
- Beat the egg whites with a food processor until half foamy and then add the remaining sugar while continuing to beat until the egg whites are stiff. Carefully fold this into the nut mixture, first mixing in ⅓ of the snow so that the mixture becomes lighter, then carefully fold in the rest until light and fluffy.
- Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake at 170 °C for approx. 40 minutes. Leave to cool.
