PREPARATION:
Prepare two 24 cm diameter molds with baking paper. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). 
Grind almonds with powdered sugar. Powdered sugar helps to ground almonds into dry flour.
Whip the egg whites and pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Add the sugar and continue whipping until the sugar is completely dissolved. Gently fold the almond flour into the egg whites, mix gently. Divide the batter in half and pour into prepared two molds. Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
For the frosting, in a saucepan mix heavy cream, vanilla extract and granulated sugar. Warm the mixture until sugar dissolved. Beat the egg yolks and pour into the warm mixture. Continue to heat while stirring constantly for about 7-8 minutes. Dont let it boil, it should steam, but not bubble. Cover the cream with plastic wrap and leave to cool to room temperature. Butter (room temperature) beat until smooth. Add the chilled cream and mix well.
For the decoration, fry the almonds petals on a dry pan.  To assemble, put the first layer of cake on a serving plate, then spread a half of the frosting. Put the second layer of cake on top and remaining frosting. Sprinkle the almonds petals. Set the cake into the refrigerator for several hour or overnight.
