Almond Sponge Cake - (Bizcocho De Almendras)

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup	93g / 3.3oz	Blanched almonds
6		Eggs
1 1/8 cups	70g / 2.5oz	Cake flour
1 pinch		Salt
1 cup	198g / 7oz	Sugar
1/4 cup	49g / 1.7oz	Powdered sugar

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.

Grind almonds in electric blender or pound in mortar to fine paste. Beat three whole eggs and three yolks with sugar and salt until thick and light yellow.

Fold in three egg whites beaten to stiff peak. Gradually sift in flour mixed with ground almonds.

Fold no more than necessary to make an evenly blended mixture. Pour into 9-inch loaf pan either lined with wax paper or lightly buttered and sprinkled with flour.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes in 375F oven or until toothpick inserted in middle of cake comes out clean.  Invert cake over rack or wax paper sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Hints

If you have used wax paper, cake will come out instantly; wait until it cools to remove the paper on which it baked. If you have not used wax paper, leave cake inverted in pan until cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.
