Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9” springform pan well
- For torte, blend egg yolks and sugar with mixer until they are creamy, yellow and smooth
- Whisk in the orange juice, matzoh meal and ground hazelnuts. Set aside
- Whip the egg whites in another bowl until firm, then fold in the yolk mixture
- Put the mixture in the springform pan and bake for 35 minutes
- While baking, make the icing. In a saucepan, boil the sugar in the water until it dissolves. Continue bowling slowly until the mixture reaches 238 degrees Fahrenheit, the soft-ball stage on a candy thermometer. Or you can test the thickness of it by dropping a bit in cold water and seeing if it holds its shape.
- In a bowl, beat additional egg yolks at medium speed until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes, and add the boiling sugar syrup a little bit at a time to the yolks while continuing to beat, for 3 to 4 minutes, until light yellow. Beat for 2 to 3 more minutes until cooled. Add the butter and beat at low speed for 5 minutes until light and creamy. Add the ground hazelnuts and mix.
- When cake is completely cooled, slice into two or three layers.
- Put icing on each layer evenly on the tops and sides, decorating with the whole hazelnuts on top.
