2. Beat egg whites, adding half the sugar as you go and the remainder folded well in at the end of whisking. Mixture should stand up in peaks.

 

 3. Fold in crushed walnuts with a slotted spoon. Spoon this mixture equally into two tins. Bake at 175°C (fan bake 155°C) (350°F) for 35-45 minutes, or longer, depending on your oven. Cakes should be crisp on outside. Turn out carefully onto wire tray when done.
