Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Cream the butter until fluffy, then alternately stir in the egg yolk, egg, and sugar. Stir for about 1/2 minute per egg yolk before adding the next to prevent the mixture from curdling. Mix the flour with the baking powder, add the nuts, Finesse lemon and orange juice, kirsch, and milk to the foam and mix. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold in. Pour into a greased ring tin and bake at 175°C (convection oven) for about 1 hour. Test with a toothpick! Glaze the cake as desired. Tip: If you like, you can replace the lemon/orange zest with 50g each of candied lemon and candied orange peel.
