Preheat the oven to 150°C. Separate seven eggs into two bowls, leaving one egg to the side. In one bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff , then add in baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix again until stiff , then place it in the fridge to rest and keep the texture consistent.

-
Take the egg white mix out of the fridge and gradually add it to the yolk mixture. Gently fold it in with your spatula.

Pour the mixture into a cake tin and bake for 1 hour and 50 minutes. Place an oven-safe bowl filled with water into the oven during the baking process.
-
Once baked and cooled, cut the cake in half and spread Nutella® on the bottom half.

Place on the top layer and decorate the top of the cake with Nutella®. Add some fresh orange pieces for an extra flavour kick. Enjoy!
