It is a deliciously moist cake, which is gluten and dairy free and uses Billington's sugar for an extra delicious taste. Method Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas mark 4). Grease and line a 23cm/9in round cake tin with baking parchment. Using 2 bowls, separate the eggs placing the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another. Using an electric handheld or freestanding mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Whisk together the yolks, vanilla extract and sugar until completely pale and aerated. Slowly fold in the ground almonds and the cinnamon into the egg yolk mixture, being careful not to lose any air. Next slowly add the egg white mixture, carefully folding in after each addition so you don’t lose any of the air in the mixture. Pour into the lined cake tin and sprinkle with the flaked almonds. Place in the oven and bake for around 35-45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Once the cake is completely cooled, remove from the tin and place onto a cake stand, sprinkle with icing sugar and decorate with some broken cinnamon sticks in the centre.

Ingredients For the cake 5 Egg(s) (free range) (medium ) 200g Almonds (ground) 200g Unrefined golden caster sugar ( We like Billington's) This is the highest quality caster sugar available and is a great natural alternative to refined caster sugar. It has a warm golden colour from its unrefined nature and is fine grained with a subtle buttery taste, making it perfect for deliciously light sponges, shortbread and macaroons. 15g Cinnamon 50g Almonds (flaked) 15ml Vanilla extract For the decoration 0 Icing sugar (for sprinkling ) 0 Cinnamon stick(s) Recipe Alternatives Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread Total 1h 0m Serves 8 Skill Easy Diet DF/EF/GF/V Rating No ratings yet Homemade malt loaf Homemade malt loaf Total 1h 5m Serves 1 Skill Easy Diet Rating 5 star rating Felton spiced loaf Felton spiced loaf Total 1h 45m Serves 10 Skill Easy Diet Rating No ratings yet
