Spanish Almond Cake is a rich flourless dessert that is popular all over Spain. To make this sweet treat you only need 5 simple ingredients. It’s also naturally gluten-free!
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. Mix in the sugar.
In a separate bowl combine together ground almonds, lemon zest and cinnamon. Add this to the mixing bowl and using a wooden spatula stir until well combined.
Pour the batter into a 7-inch/18 cm springform pan lined with baking parchment and bake for 35 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Let it cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.

Notes
Use 3 small to medium eggs. If you are using large eggs, use only 2.
This recipe can be doubled. If you double the recipe, use a larger springform pan.
Powdered sugar = Icing sugar.
