"Chocolate chips and cherries are the main attractions of this sponge cake where the egg whites are beaten separately, then folded into the batter. Although it calls for hazelnuts and almonds, any nut meal can be used, so choose one that suits your palate. The cake bakes through thoroughly and stays moist, but is still great with a bit of whipped cream on the side, German-style. A sturdy cake, bring this to a picnic to eat out-of-hand. Altitude baking adjustments included. Makes a 26 cm springform cake, 12-14 pieces. See larger image..."
