Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 225 g castor sugar
- 135 g ground walnuts
- 400 ml whipping cream (save some for decoration)
Mocha Frosting
- 4 tbsp milk
- 50 g unsalted butter
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Instant coffee diluted in 1tsp hot water
- 200 g icing sugar
Decoration
- walnut halves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Grease and line two 20cm sandwich tins with baking paper.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Fold in the ground walnuts.
- Divide the mixture equally between the two tins (weighing is a good idea).
- Bake for 24 minutes until golden.
- Allow to cool in the tins before putting on cooling rack and removing paper. The top will be like meringue and the base will be more nutty and chewy.
- Whip the cream until forms soft peaks (a hand whisk is best to avoid over whipping).
- Sandwich the 2 layers of torte together leaving enough cream for decoration.
- Put milk and butter in a saucepan and heat until boiling then tip in the cocoa and simmer for 30 seconds.
- Add the dissolved coffee and beat in the icing sugar gradually. If it goes grainy just add another tsp of hot water and beat well.
- Spread the frosting on top of the cake, spreading out with a palette knife.
- Pipe on the rest of the cream and decorate with walnut halves.
