Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Preheat your oven to 135°C (275°F) and position a rack in the center.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: A low oven temperature is key to baking a moist, dense torte without drying it out.
- 2
Grease a 25cm (10-inch) springform pan with the softened butter and dust it with flour, tapping out any excess.
Aproximativ 3 min.
- 3
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg yolks and the whole egg until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
Aproximativ 4 min.
Nota bucătarului: Using room temperature eggs will help them gain more volume when beaten.
- 4
Gradually add the sugar designated for the yolks and continue beating until light and fluffy.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 5
Add the ground hazelnuts and plain breadcrumbs to the yolk mixture and stir with a spatula until just combined into a thick paste.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 6
In a separate, scrupulously clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until they become foamy.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Any trace of fat or yolk in the bowl will prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
- 7
Increase the mixer speed to high and gradually add the sugar for the whites, beating continuously until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: You'll know the peaks are stiff when they hold their shape and don't flop over when you lift the beaters.
- 8
Gently fold about one-quarter of the beaten egg whites into the hazelnut mixture to lighten its consistency.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 9
Sprinkle the flour over the batter, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions until no white streaks remain.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Use a spatula and a gentle 'scoop from the bottom, fold over the top' motion to avoid deflating the batter.
- 10
Carefully pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with your spatula.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 11
Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Aproximativ 50 min.
- 12
Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before running a thin knife around the edge to loosen it.
Aproximativ 15 min.
- 13
Release the springform collar and allow the cake to cool completely on the wire rack.
Aproximativ 45 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensuring the cake is fully cool prevents the whipped cream from melting.
- 14
Once cool, prepare the topping. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until medium peaks form.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 15
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the cooled cake.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 16
Sprinkle the ground hazelnuts for the garnish over the cream before serving.
Aproximativ 1 min.
