- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Prepare the batter: Beat egg yolks till foamy and lemon colored.
- Gradually add in sugar, and beat till mix forms a ribbon when poured from a spoon. Add in butter, a little at a time, till mix form a thick paste.
- Add in pecans and almonds. Stir. Fold flour, almond and vanila extracts into the mix, being careful not to overmix. Beat egg whites till they form stiff peaks, and fold into batter.
- Fill cake pans equally with the batter and bake for 45 min or possibly till done. Remove from oven, cold for 10 min, and remove from pans. Cold completely, and set on plate(s) with a high rim.
- Meanwhile prepare the syrup: Heat the water and sugar in a saucepan, and boil over medium heat for 20 min. Remove from heat and stir in liqueur.
- Pour syrup over the cooled cakes, allowing the cakes to absorb the syrup totally.
- Prepare the frosting: Beat the egg yolks till foamy and lemon-colored.

Add in almond extract and kirsch and continue beating till thick and smooth.
