Layer Cake with Whipped Cream

An unusual and delicious cake.

135 ml butter
3 egg yolks
225 ml flour
100 ml sugar
75 ml milk
7 ml (1 1/2 tsp) baking powder
300 ml sugar, for topping
Chopped almonds, optional
500 ml whipping for filling

Cream butter and sugar; add egg yolks.  Sift flour and baking powder into egg mixture alternately with milk.  Grease 2 springforms well (I skipped this and just used one pan) ; divide dough evenly into pans.  Beat egg whites stiff.  Add 300 ml sugar.  Spread on top; sprinkle with almonds.  Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes.  Remove from pan and place on serving plate with whipped cream between layers.
