Thank you to all members that took the time to send in a recipe. We're just sorry we won't have an opportunity to publish them all! In a large mixing bowl beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Stir in ground hazelnuts. In a separate bowl with clean utensils, beat egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold small amounts of the egg whites into the egg yolk and nut batter until no streaks of white remain. Make sure not to over mix. Pour batter into an ungreased 9-inch spring form pan. Bake at 350-F degrees for 35 to 40-minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Invert pan over a baking rack and cool completely. Just prior serving, remove the side of the spring form pan. If desired, drizzle with icing, sprinkle with nuts and garnish with mint.
