Ingredients

Cake base:

4 eggs

100g/3 ½ oz/7tbsp caster sugar

50g/1 ¾ oz/1/2 cup ground almonds

50g/1 ¾ oz/1/2 cup ground hazelnuts

50g/1 ¾ oz/1/3 cup plain flour

50g/1 ¾ oz/1/2 cup flaked almonds

Meringue spin:

3 egg whites

½ tsp cream of tartar

1 ½ cups caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Topping:

1/3 cup heavy cream whipped with 2 tbsp powder sugar

8 strawberry halves

Directions

Preheat oven to 160 C/350 F/. Grease 24cm round cake

pans and line the base with baking parchment.

Whisk the eggs and caster sugar in a large mixing bowl with electric

beaters until light and foamy and the whisk leaves a trail that lasts a

few seconds when lifted. Fold in the ground nuts, sieve the flour and fold in with a metal spoon or spatula. Pour into the prepared cake pan and set aside.

Meringue:

Beat the whites with a hand mixer till frothy, add the cream of tartar until stiff. Add the sugar gradually till mixtures is glossy and stiff. Add the vanilla and beat again. Fill a piping bag fitted with a small rounded tip with the meringue mixture and starting from the center, pipe the meringue in a spin shape over the cake batter. Once all surface is covered, start to make 2 layers at the sides of the cake pan. Bake for 60 minutes, turn off the oven and let cool with door ajar for 1-1 ½ hours or until completely cold.

Pipe the whipped cream using a smaller round tip over the baked meringue spin in round shapes (see the pictures) . Pipe small rounded rosettes over the sides of the meringue wall and same on the sides of the cake base. Decorate with strawberry halves. Best served at the same day.
