Directions:
To make the cake, beat the egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, then add sugar, ground almonds and lemon juice. Mix well. Carefully fold in the egg whites. Bake in two pans at 180 C for 45 minutes. Cool completely and remove from pans.
To make the filling, mix the sugar and potato starch together. Beat eggs well and then slowly add the sugar-potato starch mixture to them. Mix the water, oil, and lemon juice and add to the egg mixture. Cook in a pot set over another pot which has water boiling in it (double boiler—prevents burning) and stir constantly until thick. Cool completely and then spread between the two cake forms. Sprinkle the top with chopped nuts or spread extra filling on top.
