How To Make Almond Cake?
Dessert is a decoration of any festive table. Sweets always cheer you up and charge you with positive emotions. And the most popular festive delicacy is a beautiful and delicious cake. Almond cake is a fragrant, delicate, and very satisfying dessert. The main ingredient of the cake, as the name suggests, is almond. Almonds are added to dough or cream. You can use ready-made almond flour to make an almond cake, but it is inferior in taste and aroma to natural nuts.

Almonds are very nutritious; they are high in fat, about 50%, but much less than other nuts. The benefits of almonds are due to their natural composition. It is considered an excellent source of phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, calcium, iron, and potassium. It contains many B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9), as well as tocopherol (vitamin E). Almonds are good for the heart and blood vessels as they contain a lot of unsaturated fats, amino acids, and minerals.

Cakes are the perfect sweet treat, so today we're showing you a delicious almond zest cake recipe that is fun and easy for you to make at home! In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar and salt and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the ground almonds and blend together. Add the lemon and orange zest. This will be a thick paste. Whip the egg whites into a stiff meringue. The batter will be fluffy. Put a big dollop of the meringue into the almond/egg paste and blend. Then gently transfer this loosened mixture to the remaining meringue bowl folding in and gently blending both mixtures. It is now ready to put in the springform pan. Pour into a springform pan (line bottom with parchment paper); coat sides with cooking spray. Bake for about 30 minutes (do the toothpick test) in a preheated 350 oven. Remove and let cool on a rack. It’s no big deal that the center will sink some. Dust with powdered sugar.

Ally, this cake sounds fantabulous — gluten and dairy free, too. (Be sure to add those hashtags!) I’m sure there are many more “former cake lovers” (besides me) in need of a homemade slice. Thanks for this one! xo
P.S. Love Food 52 and your adaptation!
Kim!! Thank you for those hashtags… dang you’re so right. Love you kiddo ?✌✌
Yum, yum, yum! (And thanks for the food history lesson, Ally!) I’ll think of this cake — and hopefully make it in the next month or two — after I’ve finished practicing Andalucia. 😉
If I were close by, Kimmmeee, I’d bring you some of this cake as you practiced Andlucia! Then I’d sit and revel in your magical music and musings! It’s really a great cake, and I do declare that the MOFW would probably like it!! xo
