From: gourmettraveller.com.au
SERVES 10

350 gm eggs, separated (about 6 eggs)
70 gm egg yolks (about 4 yolks)
300 gm caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
225 gm (1½ cups) plain flour, sieved
60 gm potato flour, sieved
Crumble
250 gm softened butter
250 gm caster sugar
250 gm plain flour, sieved
150 gm hazelnut meal
100 gm flaked almonds
Zabaglione
120 gm eggs (about 2 eggs)
100 gm egg yolks (about 6 yolks)
75 gm caster sugar
60 gm plain flour, sieved
125 ml white wine
100 ml Marsala, or to taste

Preheat oven to 180C. Whisk eggwhite in an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Combine yolks, sugar and vanilla essence in a separate bowl, gradually stir in flours, then fold through eggwhite. Spread into a 30cm x 40cm oven tray lined with baking paper and bake until golden (35 minutes). Cool in pan, then break into rough pieces and set aside.

For crumble, beat butter in an electric mixer until pale. Stir in remaining ingredients, spread thinly on an oven tray lined with baking paper and bake until golden (35-40 minutes). Cool on tray, coarsely crumble and set aside.

For zabaglione, whisk eggs, yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until light and foamy (15-20 minutes). Sift in flour, mix to combine, gradually add white wine and Marsala and whisk until mixture reaches 82C on a sugar thermometer and is light and fluffy (10 minutes).

Divide half the sponge mixture among ten 200ml glasses, pour over half the zabaglione, scatter over half the crumble, then repeat. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
