Gato de Almendra Recipe👩🏻‍🍳 This traditional Spanish almond cake is a true culinary delight, combining the richness of finely ground almonds with the subtle citrusy notes of lemon and a pinch of cinnamon. 🍋 Ingredients: - 200g peeled almonds (finely ground) - 150g sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - A pinch of salt - Zest of a small organic lemon - Half a teaspoon or a pinch of cinnamon - Blanched almond slivers for decoration - Powdered sugar for dusting 👩🏻‍🍳 **Instructions:** 1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (fan-forced) and lightly grease a round baking pan with a 19-20 cm diameter. You can also place parchment paper at the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking. 2. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and set both aside. 3. In a bowl, mix the finely ground almonds with the lemon zest to infuse flavor. 4. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar, a pinch of salt, and the vanilla extract until the mixture becomes very light and has a thick consistency. 5. Add the finely ground almonds and cinnamon to the beaten egg yolks and stir well until a uniform batter forms. 6. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. 7. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter from the outside to the inside until everything is well combined. 8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface. 9. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until it turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 10. Let the cake cool in the pan before carefully removing it from the pan. 11. Decorate the cooled cake with blanched almond slivers and dust it with powdered sugar before serving.
