Almond flour cake (gluten-free, dairy-free)

It's really simple.
Started making one for a friend of mine who benefits from gluten-free diet - and can't stop.
You'll need 3 bowls, 1 measure cup, 1 teaspoon, 1 table spoon, one mixer.
Mix 3 cups of almond flour, 1 pinch of salt, 2/3 teaspoons of baking powder, lemon zest in one bowl.
Take 5 eggs and separate yolks and whites.
Mix whites with 1/2 (or slightly less) cup of sugar and few drops of lemon juice till you get pronounced peaks.
Mix yolks with 1/2 (or slightly less) cup of sugar, 1 table spoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice till consistent and pale yellow.
Mix yolk mixture into flour mixture, then fold in whipped whites.
Bake in round form at 350F for 30 minutes.
Once done and cooled, there are numerous ways of making it presentable.
Say, spread thin layer of jam in a circle (for stickiness) and drop some slivered almonds on top.
Or cut the cake and pour some fruit preserve which is on liquid side (black currant) in spiral starting from the center.
Or top with fresh strawberries.


I leak my bowls clean - each one is a dessert by itself.
