Nut cake ,with eggs cream filler

The first time that I ate this cake was in Bistrô Charlô in Sao Paulo (Brazil), was love at first bite. My favorite cakes are, after the carrot cake , all the cakes with dry fruits as nuts, almonds and hazelnuts .One day thumbing through one of the books of recipes yellowed by the time, of my mom, I found the recipe that was given to the book the sugar Uniao, for Doña Idalina Nunes Fonseca of the city of Pelotas in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. For who did knows Pelotas , is in the south end of Brazil and almost in the border with Uruguay, is famous for the quality of the sweet shop. The first time that I made this cake I thought that was so weird `cos no flour used ,and I sure that didn’t work. But, it was deceived, it is perfect with a wonderful and humid consistency .I use hardly half recipe for the mass and equals measures for the filler and the covering
