==Description==
In Romanian: Tort bezea
==Ingredients==
* 7 egg whites 
* 7 tablespoons sugar
* [[vanilla]
* oil
=== Filling ===
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 7 oz / 200 g walnuts
* 8 oz / 250 g butter
* 3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla or ¼ cup rum 
==Directions==
# Place the egg whites, sugar and vanilla in a heat resistant bowl. 
# And place this bowl into a larger one, full of boiling water and set on heat. 
# Beat the whites until thick. Bake 3 sheets out of this mixture. 
# The procedure is as follows: cut 3 equal rounds of white paper, the size of a round layer cake. 
# Grease each paper round with oil and place it on the inverted bottom of a baking pan. 
# Place a uniform layer of egg whites (⅓ of the mixture) on the greased circle and bake at very low heat. 
# When done, place the rounds face down on the work surface, moisten the paper with water and pull it off. 
# Fill these rounds with cream. 
# To get the cream, caramelize a cup of granulated sugar; when it starts to turn yellow, add the slightly roasted walnuts and let them roast a little with the Sugar, mixing continuously. 
# After the mixture turns a deeper gold, remove from heat and turn onto an oil greased plate to cool. 
# In the meantime, beat the butter with 3 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar and vanilla or rum, adding the finely crushed walnuts. 
# Put 1 tablespoon of crushed walnuts aside for garnish. 
# Spread this cream over the sheets, place one on top of the other and cover with the same cream. 
# Sprinkle with the 1 tablespoon of crushed walnuts.
