Instructions:
For The Torte:
- Begin by separating the eggs, placing the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, setting aside for later use.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until they become thick and pale in color.
- Dissolve the baking soda in 1 tablespoon of water, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
- To the beaten egg yolks, add 1 cup of granulated sugar, mixing well.
- Gently fold in the ground hazelnuts and bread crumbs into the egg yolk mixture.
- Incorporate the dissolved baking soda mixture into the egg yolk mixture.
- Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites until the batter is well combined.
- Pour the batter into three prepared cake tins and bake at 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) for approximately 35 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
For The Icing:
- In a mixing bowl, cream the sweet butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the creamed butter, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the espresso coffee, egg, and the juice of one lime, blending until the icing reaches a smooth consistency.
- Once the cakes have cooled, generously ice each layer with the prepared frosting, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle the top of the assembled torte with additional ground hazelnuts for added flavor and decoration.
- For best results, refrigerate the torte for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the icing to set.
