01
Preparing the dough
- Melt the butter and let it cool.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff.
- Add the sugar to the egg whites in three batches, while continuing to beat.
- In another bowl, mix the flour and hazelnut powder.
02
Adding hazelnuts
- Add the melted butter to the flour-hazelnut mixture, then add 2 tablespoons of egg whites to loosen the dough.
- Using a spatula, gently add the remaining egg whites, lifting the dough to keep it light.
- Pour the batter into a buttered cake tin.
03
The cooking
- Bake at 170°C (thermostat 5-6) during about 20 minutes.
- Monitor the cooking by pricking the cake with a cake tester or the tip of a knife: it should come out perfectly dry to indicate that the cake is cooked.
