Stir the egg yolks and the icing sugar until it's nice and foamy. Then add all the other ingredients, but first stir the flour and baking powder.

Add the egg whites gently stirring, so that the foam doesn't break too much. Bake.

Stir the ingredients for the cream without the coffee. Add the coffee bit by bit and stir well.

Spread the cream on the cooled cake and spread ground or chopped nuts on the top.
