Hazelnut Layer Cheesecake

Different and not as rich as regular cheesecake, but just as good, or may i even say, better ;)

Make sponge base first.

Line and grease a 9inch cake pan.

Preheat oven to 180degrees celsius.

Whisk egg yolks and sugar till pale and quite fluffy.

In another bowl , whisk egg whites till foamy.

Gradually whisk in sugar till stiff peaks form.

Fold white mix into yellow mix.

Sieve in flour and fold it in by hand , and not with the mixer.

Finally fold in the oil or melted butter till well incorporated.

Pour into pan and bake for 25-30 mins , till cooked.

Immediately remove from cake tin and cool.

Slice into 2 layers.

Then using either the ring of an 8inch springform tin , or an 8 inch cake ring , cut out circles from each sponge.
