Method

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4:

    Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
