Yields10 ServingsPrep Time30 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time1 hr

A traditional almond cake. Easy to do but with an awesome result. It's even suitable for gluten-intolerants!

 500 g almond flour
 400 g sugar
 10 eggs
 1 lemon
 cinnamon
 Butter and flour to cover the mould
1

Cover the mould with butter and then with some flour. This will avoid the cake to stick to the mould. Turn the oven on, at 180 ºC.

2

Separate the yolks from the white and put them in two different bowls.

3

Beat the whites with a part of the sugar.

4

Now beat the yolks with the rest of the sugar. Add then the almond flour, the lemon peel and the cinnamon and mix everything.

5

Put the mix on the egg whites that we beat before. Now gently incorporate all the ingredients taking care not to remove the air of the egg whites.

6

When we are done, put the dough on the mould and bake it 30 minutes at 180 ºC.

7

After 30-35 minutes it will be ready. Let it chill.

8

When it's no longer hot, remove it from the mould and put it upside down on a plate. Sprinkle some sugar on it... you can use your imagination now!

9

Now just cut a slice and... enjoy!
