Ingredients for a 24.5 x 9 cm (9.6 x 3.5 inches) round pan.:
- 8 eggs
- 45 ml water
- 240 g sugar
- 4 Tbsp ground walnuts
- 1 pouch vanilla sugar
- 220 g all-purpose flour, sifted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Beat egg whites and water with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add sugar and vanilla sugar and beat until dissolved. Fold in the egg yolks.
Carefully blend in the flour and the ground walnuts.
Grease and flour your pan. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until brown (you can insert a toothpick in the centre and if it comes out clean then it’s ready). I have used a 24.5 x 9 cm (9.6 x 3.5 inches) springform pan.
Remove from the oven and loosen the cake from the pan with a knife. Invert it onto a wire rack or on a parchment paper sprinkled with sugar.
