The total preparation time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and this recipe yields 12 servings.

Ingredients:
For the layers:
- 6 egg whites
- 200 g powdered sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 300 g ground nuts
- 2 tablespoons of flour

For the filling:
- 300 g roasted and ground nuts
- 200 g sugar
- 200 ml water
- 1 essence of rum (optional)

For decoration:
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling on top

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Start by preparing the layers. Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer on medium speed. Continue beating until the egg whites become frothy but not completely stiff.

2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes shiny and soft peaks form. It is essential not to overbeat the egg whites to maintain the airy texture.

3. Fold in the ground nuts and flour using a spatula with gentle folding motions. Ensure that the ingredients are well combined, but do not mix too much, as you want to keep the air in the egg whites.

4. Divide the mixture evenly into two baking trays lined with parchment paper. Bake the layers in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they become golden and easily lift off the paper. Allow them to cool completely.

5. While the layers are cooling, you can prepare the filling. In a saucepan, add the water and sugar, mixing well. Bring to a boil over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the roasted and ground nuts and let the mixture boil for 2-3 minutes to achieve a slightly sticky consistency. If desired, add the essence of rum for extra flavor.

6. Assembly: Place the first layer on a platter, spread half of the nut filling evenly, then cover with the second layer. Add the remaining filling on top and level it out. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant look.

7. Let the cake rest for an hour at room temperature, then it can be sliced and served. This cake tastes even better if allowed to sit for a few hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to intensify.

Useful tips:
- Make sure the nuts are fresh and of good quality, as they are the key ingredient in this recipe.
- You can also experiment with other types of nuts, such as almonds or hazelnuts, to vary the flavor.
- This cake pairs perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee, making it an ideal dessert for relaxing afternoons.
