Flourless cake: another solution
A solution interesting to replace the flour in the preparation of a cake is to use almonds. If you have already peeled almonds, just blend them with a food processor or blender: it is essential to add a few almonds at a time and blend at intervals of a few seconds, so as not to overheat them and prevent them from releasing their oil (to ensure that this does not happen, you can first cool the almonds in the freezer for a few hours). Blend until you get a real one flour fine and homogeneous.
If you don't have the almonds already peeled, blanch them for a few minutes in hot water, drain them, peel them and dry them well. You can help yourself with the oven at very low power, but be careful not to toast them: you just have to make sure they are dry.
This technique is perfect for preparing tasty flourless cakes, ideal for those who love the taste of almonds. The best combinations? Try it for recipes like Carrots pie you hate apples.
