This recipe does not use flour, but ground almonds instead. It also uses 6 eggs!
It was fairly straight forward, although it did not rise as much as I had hoped for. I am not sure if I whisked the eggs for long enough - what does stiff but not dry look like anyway?!
When it had finished baking, the top of the cake had a rather large crack, and it was quite flaky, rather like a very large brownie!
I was not feeling very hopeful, but need not have worried. Once covered with apricot jam, and chocolate icing, it looked much better. I didn't feel it needed any decoration, as it was not for a birthday, so I just grated some white chocolate on it.
This cake went down very well with some cream. Again it scored 9.0, and was a great hit with our little guests - we've got the marks on the walls to prove it!! (only joking Jen, it all came off, so no lasting damage!!)
