Ingredients

For meringue: 4 egg whites

1 cup super-fine sugar

1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 cup chopped nuts (in the original, hazelnuts or cashews are recommended, but I used almonds and walnuts; both worked fine)

2 tablespoons potato starch (I used cornstarch)

For buttercream:

3 egg yolks

1 cup sugar

1 cup milk

300 grams butter (1 stick is 113 grams)

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Directions

For meringue:

The following ingredients and baking instructions are for ONE cake layer. We will need TWO of these, i.e. all amounts need to be doubled. Due to the volume of the whipped whites, it’s easier to make one layer at a time.

Make meringue:

Preheat oven to 275 F.

Beat together egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until soft peaks are formed. Still beating on high speed, gradually add sugar intil whites form stiff and glossy peaks.

Sift starch over whites, then sprinkle nuts on top. Fold nuts gently but thoroughly into meringue. Spread evenly onto baking sheet lined with parchment. Make sure there is room for meringue to spread when baking. I drew a 10-inch circle on the parchment, but I think this cake works better in a rectangular shape.

Bake 1.5-2 hours, until firm and pale golden.

Cool on rack; peel off parchment.

Make buttercream:

Stirring constantly, bring milk, sugar and yolks to boil; cook until thickens. Beat cooled mixture into butter; add cocoa.

Assemble cake, layering meringue with buttercream; sprinkle with crushed meringue trimmings or nuts.
