  10. fold in beaten stiff egg whites, cognac, orange zest, just just enough to combine.
  11. add walnuts, mix.
  12. line pan with baking paper - i didnt have to grease mine, but whatever floats your boat.
  13. pour half the mixture in pan, drop the foil wrapped coin somewhere off-center and cover with remaining mixture.
