I found this recipe on a site called Palachinka. I was drawn there by the absolutely, devastatingly delicious looking picture. It is a little time consuming, making the biscuit (or cookie) crust, but it sounds completely divine. I think you will need to have a metric conversion table, unless you just do that yourself.

Number Of Ingredients 17

biscuit ( cookie layer):
2 egg whites
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 Tbsp all purpose flour
40 g ground hazelnuts
yellow filling:
10 egg yolks
10 Tbsp granulated sugar
5 1/2 Tbsp flour
2 bag(s) vanillin sugar (20 g)
340 ml milk
170 g butter
crunchy filling:
140 g whipped cream powder
200 g plus 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
200 ml milk
120 g toasted hazelnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Biscuit (Cookie layer): Beat egg whites, add sugar and beat more. Gradually, fold in sifted flour and hazelnuts. Bake in a greased 20 cm diameter spring form pan in a preheated oven on 170°C for about 25 minutes. You will need 3 biscuits like this for the whole cake.
  • 2. Yellow Filling: Cook egg yolks, sugar, flour, vanilla sugar and milk on low heat until very thick stirring continuously. Beat butter and add cooled yolk cream. Beat until incorporated.
  • 3. Crunchy Filling: Whip the cream powder with the milk. Melt sugar like for the praline. Pour it on a baking paper, spread thin. Work quickly! When it's completely cooled, separate it from the paper and crush with a rolling pin. Do not powder as it will give this layer it's crunchiness along with the nuts. Fold chopped nuts and caramel into the whipped cream.
  • 4. Assembling: Place one biscuit on a serving plate, spread yellow filling, then crunchy one and repeat for the two remaining biscuits. You'll have some yellow filling leftovers. Spread it over the sides of the cake.

This torte was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This torte is a great way to use up leftover dates. It's also a very easy recipe to follow. I made it for a potluck and it was a big hit.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I really enjoyed this torte. The dates were not too sweet and they added a nice chewy texture. The walnuts and coconut also added a lot of flavor.
