Almond And Cinnamon Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 160C fan / Gas 4 and grease and line a 9 inch cake tin with baking parchment.
• Using two bowls, separate the eggs placing the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
• Using an electric handheld or freestanding mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff, and in the other bowl, whisk together the yolks, vanilla extract and sugar until completely pale and aerated.
• Slowly fold in the ground almonds and the cinnamon into the egg yolk mixture, being careful not to lose any air.
• Next slowly add the egg white mixture, carefully folding in after each addition so you don't lose any of the air in the mixture.
• Pour into the lined cake tin and sprinkle with the flaked almonds.
• Place in the oven and bake for around 35-45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
• Once the cake is completely cooled, remove from the tin and place onto a cake stand, sprinkle with icing sugar and decorate with some broken cinnamon bark in the centre.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Grease a 10-inch tube pan. Line the bottom with a disk of parchment paper.
• For the topping, combine the flour, sugars, cinnamon, butter and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Processes until all the ingredients are well combined. The mixture will resemble fine moist crumbs.
• For the cake batter, beat the Almond Paste with the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until well combined, approximately 2 minutes. Add the butter and beat until fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Scrape the bowl then stir in the milk. Fold in the baking powder, flour and vanilla.
• Spread the batter into the pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out dry, approximately 50 to 60 minute. Cool on a rack then unmold.
• Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
• Lightly beat the egg white; add water, and beat until frothy but not stiff. Add the nuts, and stir until well coated. Mix the sugar, salt, and cinnamon, and sprinkle over the nuts. Toss to coat, and spread evenly on the prepared pan.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until golden. Allow to cool, then store nuts in airtight containers.
