Malloquin Almond Cake
An delicate, fluffy, moist, and absolutely amazing almond cake from the island of Mallorca! It doesn’t use any leavening agent, instead you beat lots of air into to the egg, which is a crucial ingredient. This makes the cake just as fluffy and moist as you can only dream about!
- Yield: 22cm / 8,5 inch cake 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g / 7 oz sugar
- 6 (medium) eggs
- 200g / 7 oz almond flour
- A hearty pinch of salt
- The zest of 1/2-1 lemon
- Optional cinnamon to taste, about 1/2-1 tsp
- Icing sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175C/350F. Properly grease your pan. I’ve used both a 22cm/8,5 inches pan and this with mini bundt cakes.
- Start with separating the egg yolk from the white.
- In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites stiff and fluffy.
- In another large bowl, whip the egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy. Sift and fold in the almond flour, salt, lemon zest, and optional cinnamon.
- Now fold in the egg white. Start with a few tbsp and once incorporated, add batch wise the rest of the fluffy egg whites.
- Transfer the batter to the pan(s). If you’re using a large pan bake the cake for around 40 minutes and the smaller one for 20 minutes or until a toothpick runs clean. Let cool, dust icing sugar on top, slice up, and enjoy!
