This Almond Tart Recipe from A Taste of Salamanca Cookbook is light and airy with a cheeky hint of rum.
Ingredients:
– 4 eggs
– 250g caster sugar
– 250g ground almonds
– 50g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
– pinch of ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
– 1 shot of rum (optional)
– 1 tbsp icing sugar
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease a 30cm round cake tin with a little butter.
2. Whisk the eggs with the sugar in a large bowl until pale and frothy. Add the ground almonds, butter, cinnamon and rum (if using) and mix with a spatula until you have a soft, creamy batter.
3. Pour the batter into the greased tin. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
4. Allow to cool in the tin for few minutes before turning out onto a wire rack and dusting with the icing sugar and a little cinnamon. Cut into slices to serve.
Tip: Serve with a shot of rum on the side.
