- Using a metal spoon, gently fol in the lemon juice, rind and almond flour until well combined.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites till they they are stiff enough and form soft peaks.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter until fully incorporated.
- Bake the cake for 30 mins till lightly browned on top or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Take the tin out, leave for 5 minutes before gently lifting the cake out (using the parchment). Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before dusting with caster sugar.
