ALMOND CAKE (without flour)

[Martin_Zwick]

Classic cake from the island of Mallorca. Famous for its almond trees and arabic influence. Therefore there are versions including cinnamon and also with a splash of brandy (optional)

Thank you for posting this! One of my all time favorites of your recipes. I think I first picked it up from wldg though memory is hazy that far back.

Thank you. This looks awesome. I guess 200g of sugar helps!

Do you take the almond to a powder, or do you preserve some of the texture of the nuts?

To a powder.

And I looked for high-quality almonds. That´s the same with hazelnuts, if you compare hazelnuts from Piedmont with hazelnuts from ordinary supermarkets. What a difference!
