Ingredients

  • 6 eggs at room temperature (IMPORTANT)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 250 g icing sugar
  • 150 g unsalted butter very soft at room temperature
  • 300 g almond flour
  • 40 g sliced almonds to garnish
Metric - US Cups

Instructions

  • Beat the eggs, salt and icing sugar in a handheld or stand mixer until they go light and fluffy and you can make a drawing on top by drizzling it and it takes a bit to go back into the mix. For further reference watch the video above.
  • Add the butter one tablespoon at a time with the mixer on low speed and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Take the bowl off the mixer and add the almond flour little by little, mixing in folding motions with a spatula, careful to not knock out the air we put into the eggs.
  • Pour into a buttered springform pan that has been fitted with baking paper at the base. You should also butter the sides and on top of the paper as well.
  • Decorate with sliced almonds on top or finely chopped. Don't toast them beforehand because the oven will do that for you.
  • Take it to a preheated oven at 170°C/340℉ for 30-40min or until it's golden on top. You should also be able to insert a skewer of a fine knife at the centre and it should come out clean.
  • Garnish with a bit of icing sugar once cold.
