In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Add the melted butter and mix well. Pour in the milk and continue mixing until smooth.

Using a blender or food processor, grind the almonds and walnuts into a fine mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, then mix well.
