Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line the bottom of a 9-inch round baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides of the pan with butter or a non-stick spray.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl and the yolks in another.
Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites with a dash of salt until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In the bowl with the egg yolks, add 1/2 cup of sugar and whisk or beat until the mixture is pale and creamy.
Slowly add the buttermilk to the yolk mixture, stirring until well combined. Fold in the ground almonds and baking powder until thoroughly mixed.
Gradually fold the stiff egg whites into the batter one third at a time, taking care to maintain the aeration. Gently fold until the mixture is homogeneous without deflating the egg whites.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cake once it has cooled.
Slice and enjoy your delicious, flourless lemon buttermilk cake!
Tips:
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before starting the recipe to achieve better volume and texture.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
- When grinding the almonds, make sure not to over-process them into almond butter. Aim for a fine meal consistency.
- To prevent the cake from sticking, line your baking tin with parchment paper or grease it well with oil or butter.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan to avoid it breaking apart.
