Almond Cake

Ingredients

3 eggs, separated
150g sugar
160g ground almonds
1 tsp almond essence

Method

Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, then fold in the ground almonds to make a thick paste. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Using a metal spoon, stir in a couple of spoons of the egg whites into the almond paste to loosen it. Then carefully fold in the rest of the whites.

Pour into a lined cake tin and bake at 180 for 35 mins.
