Almond Cake

I'm always looking for an easy, delicious dessert to make for a Family Gathering, a Church Bake Sale, a Holiday Dinner, our Annual Block Party, or just because I'm in the mood for a yummy dessert.
This is the perfect item to make.

Here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
1 - 9" Springform Pan or a 9" Cake Pan, Brushed Well with Pan Release Mix. ( equal parts of Flour, Crisco and Vegetable Oil mixed well and refrigerated in a Jar.) I always have it available for all of my Baking Needs.

1 1/2 C Almond Flour
4 Large Eggs, Room Temperature and Separated
1/2 C Granulated Sugar
The Zest of 1 Lemon
1/4 C Sliced Almonds
Confectioner's Sugar for Dusting
Lemon Slices for Garnish

In a Large Mixing Bowl:
Yolks
Sugar
Whisk Well until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes. You can use a hand held Electric Mixer.

Add:
Flour
Zest
Stir well by hand with a Silicone Spatula just until well combined.
Set Aside.
Clean the Bowl and Whisk.

In the Large Mixing Bowl.
Egg Whites
Whisk until Stiff Peak.
Fold by Hand into the Bowl of Batter, just until completely incorporated.

Spoon gently into the Pan.
Smooth the top with a Silicone Spatula.
Sprinkle with Almonds.

Bake 30 minutes.
The Top should be Firm to the Touch.

Transfer Pan to a Rack to cool for 15 minutes.
Release the Cake onto the Rack to Cool Completely, flipped right side up.

Transfer to a Serving Platter.
Dust the Top with Confectioner's Sugar.

Peace in the Kitchen!
