Berry cake

Combining the nuttiness of almonds with the zesty freshness of lemon and the sweet burst of blueberries, this cake is sure to delight your taste buds. It's an excellent option for brunch, a tea party, or a simple family gathering. Plus, it's relatively easy to make, even for those who might not consider themselves baking experts.

Ingredients:

1 cup almonds
120g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
5 egg whites
160g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup blueberries
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure the cake doesn't stick.
2. Prepare the Almonds: Place the almonds in a food processor and grind them until they are finely ground, resembling almond flour. Be careful not to over-process, or they will turn into almond butter.
3. Sift the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground almonds to ensure there are no lumps. Add the lemon zest to the mixture and stir to combine.
4. Beat the Egg Whites: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Stiff peaks mean the egg whites should hold their shape firmly when you lift the beaters.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients and Butter: Gently fold the melted butter into the dry ingredients mixture until well combined.
6. Add the Egg Whites: Gradually fold the stiff egg whites into the batter. Do this gently to retain the air you've whipped into the egg whites, which is important for the cake's texture.
7. Incorporate the Blueberries: Fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.
8. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top.
9. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. You can add a dusting of powdered sugar on top for an extra touch of sweetness.

Tips:

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature to ensure it mixes smoothly into the batter.

- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.

- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter to avoid smashing them and coloring the batter.

- Sift the powdered sugar and flour to prevent lumps in your cake batter.

- For a more pronounced almond flavor, you can toast the almonds lightly before grinding them.

- Ensure your egg whites are at room temperature before beating them; this will make it easier to achieve the right consistency.

- To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, your cake is ready.

- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to maintain its shape and texture.
