Combine the almonds, semolina, grated lemon peel, oil and liqueur. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and then gently add them to the mixture by stirring from the top to the bottom.

STEP 2
Grease and flour a domed mould, add the dough and bake in a pre-heated oven at 160°C for 40-45 minutes. Use a skewer to check that the cake is done. Take the parrozzo out of the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes then gently turn it out onto a cooling rack and let it cool further.

Spread Nutella® on the surface of the cake until it is completely covered and then sprinkle with flaked toasted almonds.
Parrozzo comes from an ancient peasant recipe called "pan rozzo," a loaf of bread that shepherds in Abruzzo would make from corn flour and milk from their herds, smelling of thyme, mint and almonds from the mountains, and which was baked in a wood oven. From a bread to a cake, the parrozzo cake in an almond crust with Nutella® recipe has become a true delicacy.
