Ingredients:
- 500g (1.1 pounds) mixed nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts)
- 200g (7 ounces) dark chocolate
- 120g (1 cup) sugar
- 6 eggs
- 150g (2/3 cup) butter
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Separate egg whites from yolks. Whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar. Add softened butter, mix until smooth.
- Finely chop the dark chocolate. Lightly toast the peeled nuts for enhanced aroma, then chop them into various-sized pieces, including fine crumbs and larger chunks. Add chocolate to the egg-yolk mixture, followed by nuts. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for approximately 40 minutes or until done.
Enjoy your delightful nut cake!
