Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan / gas mark 4). Grease and line the base of a 15cm round cake tin.
Step 2:
Beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the egg yolks one at a time and stir in with the almond extract. Beat well.
Step 3:
Sieve in the self-raising flour and ground almonds and mix gently. Beat the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl until very stiff and then fold into the mixture.
Step 4:
Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Recipe Reviews
Loved this cake . I doubled up the ingredients and made 2. Delicious almondy flavour. My neighbour and my family gave it the thumbs up. Will definitely make this again 👌
Wonderful cake. Thanks for the recipe. Making this cake for the 2nd time within 5 days . The flavour of almond is just awesome. I baked it for around 45 mins only. This will be among my favourites !👍
Easy to make!
This was delicious. I sized the recipe to fit an 8” tin and it took 45 mins to bake. It came out lovely and moist and less 'sinful' than a cake made completely with flour. I topped it with some flaked almonds before putting in the oven.
such an easy to follow recipe. I made it , and the whole family loved it and relished it..I will definitely make it again
I made this is was amazing. Sliced cake in half and put raspberry jam in the middle. My partner has just made this now for my birthday cake. It’s in the oven as we speak 😋
