Whisk 4 eggs and remaining yolks with sugar in the top part of a double boiler set over simmering, not boiling water. Beat eggs with an electric hand mixer until they have doubled in volume and turned an ivory color. Remove from heat. Whisk 1/4 of this into almond paste batter to lighten it. the fold in the rest. Alternating, each, sprinkle nuts and sieve cornstarch into batter and fold in very quickly. Work fast so that you do not deflate eggs. (A trick is to do this with your hands to make sure the thick almond paste batter blends with the lightened egg mixture.) Pour cake batter into prepared cake pan and bake 30 to 40 minutes or until a cake tester, when inserted into the center of the cake, comes out dry. If the cake browns too quickly, cover it loosely with a piece of foil. Let cake cool in pan for 15 minutes, then unmold and place on a round cardboard.
