Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 Eggs, separated
3/4 c Granulated sugar
Grated zest of 1 orange
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 c Finely ground Brazil nuts
1 1/2 tb All-purpose flour
1/4 ts Salt
Garnish:
2 Grapefruits
2 Oranges
4 lg Egg whites
1 1/4 c Granulated sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10 inch round cake pan with
parchment paper, butter and flour.

In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg yolks and sugar until pale
yellow. Add the orange zest and vanilla, whip until light and fluffy
and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the Brazil nuts with the flour and
set aside. Reserve the remaining nuts for the garnish.

In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Sprinkle in the
salt and continue beating until soft peaks form. Alternate folding in
the nut and flour mixture, and the beaten yolk mixture, until
combined. Pour into the prepared pan.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Set on a rack to
cool, about 10 minutes. Run a knife along the edge to loosen and
invert onto a platter. Remove the parchment let cool completely.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place cake on a baking
sheet lined with parchment paper.

Working over a bowl to catch the juices, peel the grapefruits and
oranges and cut between the membranes to remove the sections. Remove
the seeds. Arrange the sections over the cake. Pour the juice through
a strainer and drizzle over the cake.

In mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the
sugar, whisking until stiff peaks form, about 10 minutes. Gently fold
in the reserved 1 cup of ground Brazil nuts.

Spread the meringue evenly over the cake and bake 1/2 hour. Cool on a
rack and serve.

Yield: one 10 inch tart
