Steps

60 minutes

1

Gather all the ingredients.
2

Mix the almond flour with the grated lemon zest (and cinnamon, if using) using a spatula.
3

Add the sugar (100 grams is about 4 to 5 tablespoons) and mix well.
4

Beat the eggs thoroughly and add the yolks, then beat again.
5

Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C).
6

Gradually add the beaten eggs to the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula. Once incorporated, add more egg and mix gently until fully combined.
7

Grease and flour the baking pan.
8

Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
9

Bake for 35-40 minutes at 340°F (170°C), using both upper and lower heat. Place the pan on the lower rack of the oven.
10

Once the cake has cooled to room temperature, decorate with powdered sugar. Traditionally, use the Cross of Santiago stencil.
11

You’re going to love it, just like we did! It’s not hard to make at all. This was my first time making it, and I can assure you: the almond flavor is amazing. Here it is.
12

It’s very filling! Cut into small pieces.

Soy una profesora de latín y griego clásico, jubilada. Disfruté con mis alumnos del arte de aprender y sigo aprendiendo dia a dia ..de ver crecer a mis nietos, de ver subir los pasteles , de oler los guisos..Me siento afortunada de ser parte de Cookpad y de recibir tanto cariño y sabiduría de quienes aquí están . Cocino simplemente para expresar aprecio a los que estimo y me alegro enormemente de ver sus sonrisas.Ser embajadora de Cookpad España, es , para mí, un gran honor !!
