Gluten-Free Majorcan Almond Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free bread crumbs
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2 3/4 cups finely ground almonds (with skins)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons rum
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by lightly coating it with butter or cooking spray and then sprinkling some breadcrumbs evenly across the surface.
3
Now, take a large mixing bowl and begin whisking eggs using an electric mixer until they become light and airy in texture.
4
Add a generous amount of sugar to the bowl and continue whisking until it's fully incorporated into the eggs.
5
Add some sliced almonds to the mixture and continue whisking until they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a pinch of warm cinnamon, and a splash of dark rum to the mixture one ingredient at a time, whisking until each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
7
Pour the entire mixture into your prepared baking pan and slide it into the preheated oven.
8
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
9
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
10
Use a table knife to gently loosen the edges of the cake from the pan, taking care not to break any of the delicate layers.
11
Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate or cooling rack, taking your time to ensure it's stable and secure.
12
Finally, allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
