Almond Cake

HOW TO MAKE ALMOND CAKE

Step 1: In a food processor grind the almonds until they become a fine powder; set aside.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Grease a bundt cake pan (24 x 8 centimeters (9 1/2-inch diameter with 3 1/4-inch-high sides)) with butter and dust the inside of the pan with some flour (hold and rotate the pan so that the flour coats all surfaces).

Step 3: Using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed the eggs with the sugar until obtain a creamy mixture. Add the grinded almond and beat for 2 to 3 minutes to incorporate. Add the flour mixed with the baking powder and beat until obtain a homogeneous mixture.

Step 4: Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes (the time depends on the oven).

Step 5: When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow to cool for 25 minutes inside the pan.

Step 6: Remove from the pan and place the cake onto a serving dish. Allow to cool completely and serve.

RECIPE TIPS

Use these two techniques to know when a cake is done:

Toothpick test: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean with no batter sticking to it, the cake is done. If there are still some wet crumbs or batter stuck to the toothpick, leave the cake in the oven for a few more minutes.

Finger test: Gently press the center of the cake with your finger. If it springs back and doesn't leave an indentation, the cake is done. If you notice that your finger leaves indents when you press down, put the cake back in the oven for a few more minutes and check again.
