Video Classic Hungarian Esterházy Nut Cake Recipe
Discover the joys of this mouthwatering recipe, starting with whipping egg whites and a pinch of salt until they form soft peaks. Gradually incorporate sugar, continuing to whip until stiff. Gently fold in a mix of nut flour and cornstarch, then spoon these onto parchment paper. Bake to attain a light golden brown hue. Prepare a luscious cream filling by combining egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, milk, and a hint of vanilla, cooking until it thickens. Upon cooling, blend with pistachio paste and fold into whipped cream. Stack your nut layers with this creamy delight. For the glaze, melt white chocolate with cream, optionally tinting with green. Drizzle it over your creation, completing the aesthetic with a spider web design using dark chocolate and almond slices. The result is a luxurious balance of textures and flavors.
