Description
A vibrant and healthy savory appetizer course featuring eight portions of baking sheet pan nut blocks tossed inside a smooth caramelized glaze of fresh orange juice granulated sugar olive oil baking powder shredded almonds and fine powdered sugar crystals.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 large orange
1/2 cup olive oil
1/8 tsp almond extract
3 cups almond flour
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven unit to 350°F (180°C) lining a wide heavy steel sheet pan with parchment paper and an elevated springform rack over the floor.
Press the egg yolks and granulated sugar completely bone-dry with beaters adding orange zest juice and oil to build a smooth base.
Whisk the ground almond flour and baking powder inside a separate bowl matrix until no dry flour pockets remain floating.
Stir the dry nut blend straight into the wet citrus liquids mixing with a flexible spatula tool until a smooth paste establishes.
Whip the remaining four egg whites inside a separate clean bowl basin until firm rigid protein walls lock into peaks.
Fold the white foam into the thick nut batter in two separate stages using a gentle hand loop to protect the air cells.
Pour the completed cake mixture into the lined pan smoothing the surface flat with an offset spatula tool.
Scatter the raw sliced nut flakes generously across the wet summit layer pressing very lightly to anchor them down.
Bake flat at 350°F for 40 minutes until a wooden toothpick emerges completely clean from the center core track.
Remove from the burner fire letting the cake cool inside the pan boundaries before dusting the summit with powdered sugar.
