What you need:
1 lemon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
200g ground almonds
100g sugar (separated into 50g & 50g)
4 medium eggs
1 greased baking tin
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon baking powder
I'll show you step by step with pictures how to do it!
Grate the lemon peel into a mixing bowl with 50g of the sugar and the ground cardamom. Give them a quick mix!
Separate your eggs. The egg yolk goes into the mixture of lemon, cardamon, and sugar. Mix it.
Add in all the ground almond and baking powder. I actually get my ground almond from Lidl because it's cheaper than the health food shops. Normally located with the baking stuff!
In a very clean bowl, make sure it's not metal, whip your egg whites. Slowly add the rest of your sugar and the white wine vinegar until you've a stiff peak. I've a whisk attachment on the hand blender but it still takes elbow grease!
When it's all combined pour it into the baking tin! Honestly, I don't know the size of the cake tin, but it's this spring one from Ikea! I like it because I can get the cake out without hassle.
Pop it into a preheated oven at 175 C for 35 minutes. My oven is fan but it's 180-5 C in a non fan oven.
Let it cool when you take it out and run a sharp knife around the edges. I normally whip up some icing sugar and the juice of the lemon, poke a few holes with a toothpick and pour over while it's hot so it seeps in, but it's an optional extra!
Happy Baking! Send me your pic's on Facebook or Twitter!
