Toasted Hazelnut And Honey Torte

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons hazelnut liqueur such as Frangelico, or almond liqueur such as Amaretto
• 10 ounce skinned toasted hazelnuts*
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 6 large eggs, separated
• 3/4 cup chestnut, mesquite, buckwheat, or other full-flavored honey (about 8 oz.)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0 with rack in lower third. Melt -butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until -solids begin to brown and butter smells nutty, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and add hazelnut liqueur.
2. Generously butter a 9-in. springform cake pan and line bottom with a circle of parchment paper cut to fit.
3. Whirl hazelnuts in a food processor with baking -powder and salt until finely ground. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with honey until thoroughly combined.
5. In bowl of a stand mixer, whip egg whites with whisk attachment on medium speed until they begin to get frothy, then gradually rain in granulated sugar. Whip until egg whites form a stiff but glossy peak when beater is lifted.
6. Stir hazelnuts into bowl of egg yolks and honey. Drizzle in browned butter, stirring to incorporate. Gently fold in egg whites, a quarter at a time, until thoroughly combined.
7. Pour batter into prepared cake pan and bake until deep brown, sides begin to pull away from pan, and a toothpick inserted down through center comes out clean, 50 to 65 minutes. Cool cake in pan.
8. Remove cake from pan and pan bottom, peel off parchment, and set on a large plate. Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and top with Malted Whipped Cream.
9. *Toast hazelnuts in a 375u0b0 oven until the skins split and crisp up and the nut is golden brown beneath, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then rub the nuts together in a kitchen towel; most of the skins will fall off (a bit of skin is fine).
10. Make ahead: Up to 2 days, covered and chilled. Bring to room temperature before serving.
