Ingredients

Let’s see the ingredients needed to prepare this recipe

  • 2 eggs
  • corn oil (6 tbsps)
  • 1 pinch fine salt
  • flour (2 1/2 cups)
  • 1 packet baking powder
  • sugar (1/4 cup)
  • water (3/4 cup)
  • A few drops almond essence
  • almonds (2 1/2 oz, some chopped and the rest for decoration)
  • potato starch (1/3 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon liqueur (I used anise, but you can use rum or your preferred choice)

Tools

An electric beater with whisks and a blender to prepare the almond crumbs

Steps

  • First, take a bowl and pour in the eggs (which you have left at room temperature) along with the sugar. Beat them until they are nice and frothy.

    Now add a pinch of salt, the oil, water, your favorite liqueur (my anise worked wonderfully with the almonds), a few drops of almond essence, and about 1 3/4 oz of chopped almonds. I chopped about the weight I indicated, and the rest I used on top. Decide if you prefer more chopped inside or more on the surface. Mix well with the beaters on low speed.

    Now let’s incorporate the sifted flour and potato starch. Lastly, add the packet of vanilla baking powder.

    Continue to mix the batter until it is nice and smooth and frothy.

  • Now take the pan, butter and flour it. I used a 9-inch diameter mold. Pour in the batter and decorate with the almonds.

    Guess what I did? I cut them in half to make them lighter so they wouldn’t sink, and still passed them in a little flour, another trick to keep them from sinking during baking.

    Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F, static mode for about 40/45 minutes.

    Always do the toothpick test before turning off the oven. The cake should be dry, and the toothpick should not stick. Adjust based on your oven.

    Remove from the oven, let cool, and enjoy this simple but wonderfully almond-scented cake.

    Enjoy your meal

Storage and Tips for Almond Ring Cake

The cake can be stored for a few days under a glass dome or in the fridge.

If you don’t have or don’t like anise liqueur, you can easily use another liqueur of your choice.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
