Brutti ma buoni

Method

1. 1 Roast the almonds and pistachios for 8 minutes, then coarsely chop them instead of grinding them.
2. 2 Beat the egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form.
3. 3 Mix in the chopped nuts and then cook the entire mixture in a pan over low heat for 8 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. 4 Heating the mixture in a pan before baking helps to thicken the batter and create a chewy texture inside the cake.
5. 5 Spoon the mixture onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper without shaping it.
6. 6 The misshapen appearance is fitting for the dish's name; bake at 160 degrees for 22 minutes until the surface of the cake is cracked and dry.
