How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 175°C and grease a 27cm springform pan. Optionally, cover the bottom with baking paper.
- Grind the almonds in an almond grinder or processor, leaving them slightly coarse for added texture.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until well combined. Fold in the ground almonds, flour, and baking powder.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for a golden-brown top and a firm texture.
- In a saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. Heat over low/medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 15 minutes), watching for a creamy consistency.
- If necessary, slightly increase the heat, ensuring it does not boil. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Gradually beat the butter into the cooled cream using an electric mixer until it achieves a smooth, fluffy texture.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, unmold it and generously cover with the yellow egg cream for a luscious finish.
