Step by step instruction of cooking "Bad" sponge cake with almonds
Шаг 1
I did half portions. Separate 6 egg whites from the yolks. To the yolks add the sugar and grind until they turn white. Then add the zest (I have orange and lemon) and stir.
Шаг 2
To proteins add a little lemon juice and beat with a mixer until "solid" peaks (first, beat on low speed, gradually accelerating).
Шаг 3
To the beaten yolks add the sifted flour and starch, then enter the melted butter.
Шаг 4
Grind the almonds in a blender, add sugar and whites, mix well.
Шаг 5
After 15 minutes, sprinkle almond crumb cake. Send in the oven for another 30-40 minutes. Honestly, I was worried that the cake will not rise. First, open the oven during cooking, and secondly, there is a heavy nutty topping. But everything turned out fine, he has grown up well. If someone is going through, maybe for reliability, add to the dough a little baking powder. But I and without it all came out. The finished cake to cool, then to get out of shape and cut.
