   Beat egg whites until stiff and set aside.

   Beat whole egg, egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar until fluffy. Add ground walnuts and cake crumbs. Fold in egg whites. Pour mixture into springform pan. Bake in 300u00b0 oven 35-45 minutes until done. Test if done by inserting a wooden toothpick into center of cake and seeing if it comes out clean. If not, then put back in oven for 3-5 minutes and test again.

   Cool completely in pan. Split into 2 layers. This is best accomplished by pulling a taut wire through the cake. Place one layer on the serving plate.
