Prep Time20 minsCook Time40 minsTotal Time1 hr
Ingredients
 6 Egg (whites and yolks separated)
 180 Sugar
 1 pinch Salt
 90 Sunflower oil
 1 lime, zest and juice
 50 pistachio paste
 150 Flour
 11 Baking powder
 50 coarsely chopped hazelnut
 10 soft butter for the mold
Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 180°C, static heat. Butter the sides of a 24 cm diameter round mold and line the bottom with parchment paper.

2

In a bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

3

In another large bowl, blanch the egg yolks with the sugar and salt for 4-5 minutes or until you achieve a well-foamed mixture. Add the oil and mix a bit to incorporate it. Then do the same with the lime juice and zest and the pistachio paste.

4

In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Add them to the mixture and blend at low speed until a smooth texture is obtained.

5

Gently fold in the egg whites in several additions using a spatula.

6

Then, at the end, gently fold in the chopped hazelnuts.

7

Pour the mixture into the mold and smooth the surface.

8

Bake for about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

9

Let it cool completely, then unmold onto the serving dish.

10

To finish, dust with icing sugar before serving.
