Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake almond cakes? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the highest grade flour. You can replace almonds with other nuts: peanuts, hazelnuts, cashews, pistachios, or a mixture of different nuts, but keep in mind that the taste of the cakes will change. Turn on the oven to 160 degrees in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the almonds first and dry them in a dry frying pan or in the oven. Grind the nuts in a blender into fine crumbs. If desired, you can remove the skin from the almonds. To do this, soak the nuts in boiling water and leave for 3-5 minutes. Then peel, dry and chop.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour the powdered sugar into a bowl. Add 2 egg whites and whisk until smooth. You can replace powdered sugar with sugar, but it will take longer to melt.

Step 4

Step 4
Add chopped almonds and stir.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the bowl in a water bath so that the bowl does not come into contact with the boiling water, otherwise the whites may cook and stick to the bottom of the bowl. With constant stirring, heat the mixture to 40-45℃. I checked the temperature using a food thermometer. Remove the mixture from the heat and cool.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour the sifted flour into the dough and mix thoroughly. Leave for 10 minutes. Read about flour and its properties in a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe.

Step 7

Step 7
Add the remaining protein to the dough and mix. The dough will soften slightly.

Step 8

Step 8
Place the dough into a piping bag and cut off the tip. You can replace the pastry bag with a regular thick plastic bag.

Step 9

Step 9
Place even round pieces (Ø approx. 5 cm) on siliconized parchment or baking mat at a large distance from each other. You can choose the right parchment by reading a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe. Bake the cakes for 20-25 minutes in an oven preheated to 160℃. Make sure they donʼt burn on the bottom. Times are approximate. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.
