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.

A 15cm cake tin? Is that right?
Incredible! This is a masterpiece. Thank you so much!!!
Just awesome
Need twice the amount of flour, It was a soggy mess!
Soooo good, moist! I did add lots more almond essence… you need to double up the ingredients as it’s not enough, next time!!!
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 👌
