Almond Cakes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   We need the products listed.

2. Step 2:

4. Step 4:

   

   At this stage, you can beat eggs with sugar into a foam with a mixer, add the remaining ingredients and knead the dough. But we will do otherwise. I will share with you the secret of how to cook almond cakes the way they are prepared in a monastery. There everything is done manually and in a certain sequence. Separate the yolks from the whites and beat the yolks with sugar using a whisk.

6. Step 5:

   

   Add ground almonds to the yolks and mix everything gently with a silicone spatula. Here we also add cinnamon and lemon zest and mix again.

7. Step 6:

   

   Beat egg whites intensively with a whisk until a white fluffy stable foam forms. The resulting mass is mixed with the dough base using a silicone spatula. We do this as carefully as possible, lifting the dough from the bottom up so that the proteins do not settle and the cakes turn out.

8. Step 7:

   

   We will bake cakes in cupcake molds. I have silicone ones with medium-sized cells. Grease the molds with butter, sprinkle a little flour, pour the dough and sprinkle almond flakes on top.

   We send the blanks to a preheated 180 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. We take the finished cakes out of the oven and serve them to the table.
