Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Separate the eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two bowls. Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites.
2. Whisk the egg whites: Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to whisk until a stiff, glossy foam forms.
3. Add the yolks and oil: Gradually add the egg yolks and vegetable oil to the egg white mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients and Mix

4. Prepare the walnuts: Crush the walnuts with a knife and pour them into a small bowl.
5. Mix dry ingredients: Add sifted flour, baking powder, and vanilla sugar to the walnuts. Mix with a whisk.
6. Combine with wet ingredients: Gently fold the dry mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

7. Prepare the mold: Line a 22 cm diameter mold with baking paper and pour the batter into it. Smooth the surface and use a skewer to create a spiral pattern.
8. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool the cake: Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool slightly, then remove the baking paper. Cut the cake into 3 equal layers.

Step 4: Prepare the Cream

10. Beat the butter: In a bowl, beat the butter until creamy.
11. Add sour cream: Add the sour cream and continue beating until well combined.
12. Add condensed milk and vanilla sugar: Gradually add the boiled condensed milk and vanilla sugar, beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Step 5: Assemble the Pie

13. Layer the cake: Place the first layer of the cake on a plate. Spread a generous amount of cream on top. Repeat with the second and third layers.
14. Cover the sides: Spread the remaining cream on the sides of the cake, ensuring it is completely covered.
15. Decorate: Sprinkle the top and sides with a mixture of crushed almonds and hazelnuts.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

16. Chill the pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to set.
17. Serve: Serve the pie chilled, sliced with love and grace.

Tips for Success

• Room temperature ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter and cream.
• Properly whisk egg whites: Ensure the egg whites are whisked to stiff peaks for a light and airy cake texture.
• Cool the cake completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and assembling to avoid melting the cream.
