Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s ready for baking perfection.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup of sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light, creating a velvety base for your torte.
Incorporate Eggs: Add the egg yolks to the creamy mixture and beat until the texture is airy and light, infusing the batter with richness.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and milk, creating a smooth batter that’s the essence of your torte.
Spread Batter: Evenly spread the batter in the prepared pan, ensuring it reaches all corners for uniform baking.
Add Walnuts: Sprinkle half of the walnuts over the batter, adding a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to every bite.
Prepare Meringue: In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the egg whites and the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form, creating a fluffy meringue that adds a touch of elegance to your torte.
Layer Meringue: Spread the meringue evenly over the batter, creating a luscious layer that enhances both texture and taste.
Top with Nuts: Sprinkle the remaining walnuts over the meringue, adding a final flourish of nuttiness to your creation.
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating perfectly baked goodness.
Cool: Once baked, remove the torte from the pan, gently peel off the parchment paper, and allow it to cool completely, allowing the flavors to meld and the torte to set.
Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, whip together the heavy cream and icing sugar until stiff peaks form, creating a heavenly filling that’s both airy and indulgent.
Assemble Torte: Cut the cooled torte into two equal halves, preparing it for the decadent filling.
Layer Filling: Spread half of the whipped cream over one half of the torte, ensuring the meringue side is facing up, creating a sumptuous layer of creaminess.
Complete Assembly: Carefully cover the cream-covered half with the other half of the torte, ensuring the meringue side is facing up once again, completing the indulgent torte.
Final Touches: Before serving, generously top the torte with the remaining whipped cream and chopped nuts, adding a final flourish of flavor and texture.
Garnish: For a finishing touch of elegance, garnish your torte with fresh strawberries, if desired, adding a burst of color and freshness to each slice.
