Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare one 9 inch round layer cake pan; lightly grease the pan with shortening.
  • Batter:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine egg yolks and sugar; with a hand mixer beat 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed until the egg yolk foam becomes thick and lemon colored and drops in ribbons when the beater is lifted. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and ground hazelnuts; gently stir until well mixed.
  • In another large mixing bowl and using clean beaters, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.
  • Bake:
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with the back of a large spoon. Bake about 35 minutes. When the sides of the cake begin to come away from the pan, turn off the oven and let cake stand 15 minutes in the warm oven.
  • Remove from oven, then remove the cake from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
  • Topping:
  • In a medium bowl, combine whipping cream, powdered sugar, and rum; beat until thick and stiff.
  • Spread topping thickly over top of cooled cake. Decorate with colored sugar Easter eggs (optional.) or candies of your choice
  • Cover frosted cake and refrigerate until ready to serve. Refrigerate leftovers.
