Equipment
- Baking tray
- Oven
Ingredients
- 112.5 grams Sugar
- 112.5 grams Cashew Nuts
- 25 grams all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon Baking powder optional
- 1 teaspoon lemon essence optional
- lemon zest optional
Instructions
- Grease a baking dish; I used a 6 by 6-square tin.
- Preheat the oven to 150⁰C.
- In the dry grinder, grind the cashew nuts and sugar. Powder the cashew nuts to a fine paste.
- Mix with eggs, essence, flour and baking powder.
- Transfer the mix to the baking dish.
- Bake till the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes then de-mould.
- Cut and serve when cold.
Notes:
- I found it too sweet. Next time will try with 85-95 grams of sugar.
- The original cake is for 450 grams of cashew nuts. I have reduced it to a quarter.
- The original recipe calls for 7 whole and 5 yolks since I used 3 and did not know what to do with the 1 egg white so I added it to the batter.
