ancient recipe from Pomerania

Beat the egg yolks and sugar until frothy. Stir the chestnuts, flour, and breadcrumbs into the egg foam. Add the melted butter. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold in. Line a springform pan with baking paper, pour in the batter, and bake at 180-200°C (top/bottom heat) for 50-60 minutes. Mix the powdered sugar and vanilla seeds with 1 egg white (this can be used instead of the 12 eggs) and drizzle over the cooled cake. Decorate with the marzipan fruits.
