Yield: 20
Ingredients: 5 egg yolks; 200 g semi-coarse flour; 150 g powdered sugar; 150 g softened butter; 200 ml lukewarm milk; 1 packet of baking powder; 5 egg whites; 180 g powdered sugar; 200 g ground walnuts; a pinch of salt; 1 jar of currant or apricot jam

Preparation procedure

Preparing the dough In a bowl mix the flour, powdered sugar and baking powder. Add the egg yolks and softened butter. Begin working the dough, then pour in the lukewarm milk and work it into a smooth, semi-firm dough.
Preparing the bottom layer Grease a 30 × 40 cm baking tray with butter and dust with flour. Spread the dough evenly over the entire surface and smooth it.
Jam layer Carefully spread a thin layer of currant or apricot jam over the dough. A thinner jam is ideal because it spreads more easily.
Nut filling Whip the egg whites and a pinch of salt into a soft meringue. Then beat in the powdered sugar spoon by spoon until a stiff, glossy meringue forms. Finally, gently fold in the ground walnuts.
Finishing before baking Spread the nut mixture evenly over the jam layer and gently smooth it.
Baking Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for approximately 15–20 minutes, until the surface turns golden.
Serving Let the cake cool completely, then cut into slices and serve.
