Tips:
- Ensure you beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks; this will give your cakes a light and airy texture.
- Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor. Pre-packaged zest can lose its potency over time.
- If you can't find fresh passionfruit, you can use passionfruit puree as an alternative.
- To make these cakes dairy-free, you can replace the butter with a dairy-free alternative like coconut oil or margarine.
- Almonds can be ground at home using a food processor if you don't have almond flour on hand.
- Let the cakes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack; this helps prevent them from breaking apart.
With their exquisite balance of tangy lemon and sweet passionfruit, these gluten-free cakes are bound to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire.
