Reform Cake 

Preparation:

Crust:

1. Whisk 4 egg whites with 5 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks form.

2. Gently fold a tablespoon of flour and 100 g of ground walnuts into the whipped egg whites, using a wire whisk to maintain the volume of the egg whites.

3. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

4. Line a 30×22 cm baking tray with parchment paper, pour the mixture for the crust, level it, and bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes.

5. The crust should be lightly browned.

6. Repeat the process for the remaining 3 crusts.

Filling:

1. Whisk the egg yolks with granulated sugar until they become foamy.

2. Steam the egg yolk mixture.

3. Place a larger pot on the stove and fill it with water. Position a smaller pot on top, ensuring that the boiling water does not touch the bottom of the pot containing the egg yolks.

4. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Continue cooking the filling for approximately 20 minutes or longer if necessary, stirring continuously.

5. Remove the filling from the heat, incorporate the broken chocolate and butter, and mix thoroughly using a mixer on low speed.

6. Cover the filling with cling film and allow it to cool completely.

7. Once the filling is fully cooled, beat it with a mixer.

8. Divide the filling into four equal portions and fill the crust.

9. Use 3/4 of the filling between the crusts, reserving the remaining portion for coating the sides of the cake.

10. Decorate the cake as desired with walnut kernels, grated chocolate, or a sprinkling of ground walnuts.

11. Refrigerate overnight, then slice into desired portions and serve.

Buon appetito!
