Beat the egg yolks with the sugar, vanilla sugar, and orange zest until thick and foamy. Add the flour, baking powder, and nuts and stir in. Beat the egg whites until stiff and gently fold in. Pour into a greased springform pan (26 cm diameter) and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 50 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Then place the cake on a plate with slightly higher edges.
