Eierlikortorte
Ingredients:
– 6 large eggs, separated
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1 cup Eierlikör (German egg liqueur)
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 tbsp powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Fresh berries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and creamy. This will take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
4. In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until no white streaks remain.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cakes are cool, carefully slice each cake in half horizontally to create four layers.
9. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
10. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and brush generously with Eierlikör. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the cake. Repeat with the remaining cake layers, Eierlikör, and whipped cream.
11. Use the remaining whipped cream to frost the top and sides of the cake, creating a smooth finish.
12. Chill the Eierlikortorte in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
13. Just before serving, garnish the cake with fresh berries for a pop of color and extra freshness.
