- 2 tablespoons orange liqueur

- Preheat the oven to 350*F. Grease a 10-inch cake pan and line the bottom with a circle of parchement paper.

- 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.
