directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350*F. Grease a 10-inch cake pan and line the bottom with a circle of parchement paper.
  • Combine the 20 amaretti cookies and the chocolate chips in a food processor and process until the mixture is very finely chopped. Set Aside.
  • Using an electric mixer and a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar for 2 minutes.
  • Add the egg yolks one at a time, incorporating each yolk before adding the next.
  • Once all the eggs are added, continue to cream the mixture together until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the orange liqueur.
  • With the machine on low, add the flour and the chocolate amaretti mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  • In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites (using an electric mixer and clean beaters) until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  • Add one third of the whipped egg whites to the batter and mix until combined.
  • Gently fold the remaining egg whites into the batter until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then turn the cake out onto a platter and cool to room temperature.
  • Spread the orange marmalade over the top of the cake in an even layer and sprinkle the 8 crushed amaretti cookies on top.
  • Serve.
