Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 unit Eggs
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Almonds
• 4 unit Egg whites
• 0.5 teaspoon Cream of tartar
• 1 cup Granulated sugar (for meringue)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the whipped cream filling by whipping the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
7. In another bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
8. Once the cake has cooled, slice it in half horizontally. Spread the whipped cream filling on the bottom half and place the top half back on.
9. Cover the entire cake with the meringue mixture and sprinkle with almonds.
10. Place the cake back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
11. Allow the cake to cool before serving. Enjoy!
