Almond cake with lemon zest 🥮
I was craving for a piece of a chocolate cake, but I did not have any all purpose flour or cocoa.. but I did have almond flour, so I thought why not try this? And I'm SO glad I did. I feel like a pro chef.
Read on to bake the easiest, but super fancy cake ever! 💥
Ingredients :
1.5 cups Almond Flour
1 tbsp lemon zest
4 eggs
4 eggs
0.5 cups sugar
Prep time :
15-20 minutes
Cook time :
30 minutes
Recipe :
1. Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
2. Separate egg yolks and egg whites into two different large bowls.
3. Mix the egg yolks and sugar with a hand blender until it becomes smooth and creamy (should take 5-10 minutes)
4. Add the almond flour and the lemon zest to this mixture till everything blends together. This mixture will look a little grainy and thick, but don't worry, that's how it is supposed to look.
5. In the other bowl, beat egg whites rigorously with a hand mixture for about 10 minutes until they stiff peak. (if you hold the bowl upside down, the mixture should not slide)
6. Mix the egg whites with the almond flour batter slowly, until the mixture is consistent and a little bit runny.
7. Grease your cake pan with butter and pour this mixture in the cake pan.
8. Bake for 30 minutes on 350 ℉.
9. Let it cool down a bit. Dust with powdered sugar and add lemon slices to give a fancy look!
