Preparation method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).
Step 2
Line the baking tin with baking paper so that it slightly protrudes over the edges.
Step 3
Mix 180 g (6,35 oz) of sugar with 200 g (7,05 oz) of butter with a mixer. Stirring constantly, gradually add almonds, then eggs, add one by one. When the ingredients combine, add the flour and a pinch of salt. Mix slowly but thoroughly for approx. 1 minute. Pour the dough into a tin, put it in a hot oven and bake for 60 minutes.
Step 4
Prepare the syrup. Squeeze the orange juice, strain it through a strainer (it should not have pulp or seeds). Add the remaining sugar and bring to a boil. Cook for approx. 15 minutes until it thickens a little.
Step 5
Take the baked cake out of the oven, immediately prick it with a thin stick or toothpick in several places and pour hot syrup. Garnish with orange zest.
Bon appetit!
