[uploader's note: submitted in a BC thread; I've put it into the recipe section]A friend whose family comes from northern Germany made this cake and shared the recipe. It's called "Gewitter Torte" in German ("thunderstorm cake"). It is basically the same recipe except the Germans layer the cake with fresh fruit.
Gewitter Torte
Cake:
100 grams butter
125 grams sugar
½ tsp vanilla
150 grams flour
3 egg yolks
1 whole egg
Topping:
4 egg whites
200 grams sugar
Sliced almonds½ liter heavy cream
Whip-It whipped cream stabilizer
Confectioners’ sugar to sweeten (about 2 tbs.)
Fruit (gooseberries, raspberries, peaches, etc.)Grease 2 springform pans.
Combine dry ingredients.
Cream butter, sugar, vanilla and eggs (3 yolks and 1 whole). Gradually add flour.
Beat egg whites, adding sugar until glassy peaks form. Divide batter between the two pans, spread to cover bottoms, spread meringue on top, sprinkle almonds on top. Bake (at 180 C) until almonds are light brown (about 30 minutes).
Whip cream with WhipIt and confectioners sugar.
Shortly before serving, assemble in the tortenring in the following order:
--1 layer cake with almonds on top
--fruit
--whipped cream
--2nd layer of cake with almonds on top.
