Take pecans, place them on a sheet tray and place in oven for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly toasted. Remove and allow to cool. Place nuts in a robot-coupe and grind to a fine powder, set aside. In a mixing bowl place the yolks with a whip on high speed whip until fluffy. Add sugar, beat until pale yellow and mixture is thick. Remove from machine, place in a medium-sized mixing bowl, fold in pecans and bourbon. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whip, whip the whites until stiff, but not dry. In ⅓ batches, fold the whites into the egg yolk mixture just until mixed. Place in a nine-inch pan that is lined, but not buttered. Bake 50 to 60 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve with Nutmeg Cream.
For the Nutmeg Cream: Whip together heavy cream and nutmeg. This recipe yields 1 nine-inch cake.
