4 Mission® 6" Heat Pressed Flour Tortillas (10400)
5 oz. Bittersweet Chocolate
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter , softened
3 large Eggs , separated
1 cup ground Hazelnuts , lightly toasted
zest of one half Lemon

1.) Preheat oven to 350º F. Butter a 9" round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment or wax paper.
2.) Toast the Mission® flour tortillas until golden brown, and slightly crisp. Allow to cool. Place in food processor and process into crumbs. Set aside.
3.) Melt chocolate in a double boiler and set aside. Beat the butter and sugar in mixer. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. The mixture may curdle a bit. Beat in the melted chocolate, hazelnuts, tortilla crumbs, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of marmalade.
4.) In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the chocolate mixture. Transfer to cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, until set. Cover and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
5.) Place remaining marmalade in a processor and blend until smooth. Spread over the surface of the cake. Prepare the frosting.
