Hi, my name is linda, can you help me? I have a german great
grandmother who refuses to share her delicatable recipies with me,
she comes from bavaria, she makes a hazelnut torte that has 9 eggs,
1 cup of finely ground hazelnuts absolutely no flour, it is 2 -
8" round cake, it is the most mouthwatering, light, not heavy cake
i have ever eaten, i have tried alot of recipies but they come out
to heavy. Please try to find. thanks Linda
Hi Linda,
Well, I looked at dozens of hazelnut torte recipes. Most contained chocolate
and at least a cup of flour. I did find one that contained no flour. It's
the first one below. However, it contains only 6 eggs. The second recipe is
called a hazelnut cake rather than a torte. It does contain some flour, but
only 1 tablespoon. However, it contains TEN eggs! Can you imagine? 10 eggs!
If neither of these is right, you better start reminding your great-grandmother
that she really should share her recipe with a family member (you...) if she
wants to see it handed down within the family. One thing for sure is that none
of us is going to live forever.

Tante Marie's Hazelnut Torte
Ingredients
6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
3 Tbs cold water

1/2 lb. finely ground hazelnuts or filberts (about 1-1./4 cup)
1 tsp baking powder
6 egg whites
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbs sugar (about)
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Beat egg yolks until foamy with 1 cup sugar. Add cold water and continue
to beat.
Add bread crumbs (or Zwieback), nuts and baking powder, and mix.
Beat whites until stiff and fold into nut mixture.
Only grease and flour bottom of 2 - 9" pans and place wax paper or parchment
paper into pans. Pour batter into pans.

--------------------------------
Haselns Kuchen (Hazelnut Cake)
280 g (10 oz.) ground hazelnuts
10 eggs, separated
280 g (1 1/2 cups) sugar
1 Tbsp. flour (rounded)
250 g (1 1/2 cups) powdered sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice, or rum, or amaretto
Mix the sugar and egg yolks with a mixer until creamy (this takes
longer than you'd suspect - mix for a longer rather than shorter
amount of time if in doubt). Mix the flour and nuts together, then
add them to the egg mixture and mix well. Whip the egg whites until
stiff and then fold them into the nuts/egg yolk mixture. Put batter
in a well buttered and floured 10" spring-form pan. Bake at 320 F
for 60 minutes.
Glazing: Mix powdered sugar and liquid; add a little water if
necessary. Blend. Spread over thoroughly cooled cake and let sit
for awhile to settle before cutting the cake

Dear Uncle,
My third request, and I feel like we really are related by now.
Now I am looking for a "hot milk cake" which my mother-in-law made.
My husbaNd just loved it and talks about it all the time. I think
it was probably made in an 8x8 pan, eaten right out of the pan in
squares while warm with absolutely no toppings or any kind.
Just plain.
Good luck and thanks again for being there.
Ann

Read the directions after I sent the e-mail. Looking for a recipe
I used to make for my children. It had ground beef, barbecue sauce,

Hello Gail,
I have the crab salad recipe from Golden Corral. See below. However,
I'm not familiar with "red and sour dipping sauce", and nothing comes
up on the search engines like that.
