Ingredients

Servings: 16
  • 8 Eggs (size M)
  • 200 g Whipped cream
  • 400 g Sugar
  • 150 g Butter
  • 200 g ground almonds with skin
  • 75 g flaked almonds
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Separate eggs. Set aside the egg white. Bring cream and 200 g sugar to the boil and remove from the heat. Mix 1/3 of the cream and egg yolks with a whisk, stir into the rest of the cream. Heat the mixture while stirring (with a dough scraper along the bottom) over a low heat for about 5 minutes until it becomes thick and creamy. DO NOT LET IT BOIL! Pour cream into a bowl. Cover the surface directly with foil and let it cool down. Store butter at room temperature

  2. 2

    Beat 4 egg whites until stiff, pour in 100 g sugar. Fold in 100 g ground almonds. Line the bottom of a springform pan (26 cm Ø) with baking paper. Pour in the mixture and smooth it down. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 18-20 minutes. Remove the base from the edge of the springform pan with a knife, remove from the pan and let it cool down. Prepare and bake the second base in the same way. Roast the flaked almonds in a pan without fat until golden brown, take them out and let them cool down

  3. 3

    Whisk butter with the whisk of the hand mixer for 8-10 minutes until creamy. Gradually fold in the egg cream by the spoonful. Spread about 1/3 of the cream on a base and spread. Place the second base on top and spread the rest of the cream on top. Sprinkle the almond flakes on the cake immediately. Keep cool until serving
