Saffron Cream Filled Almond Cake

Saffron Cream Filled Almond Cake
This delightful almond cake is like a warm embrace on a chilly day. The nutty crust perfectly complements the luscious saffron cream filling, which is fragrant and golden with just a hint of tartness to balance the sweetness. A touch of lingonberry jam brings all the flavors together harmoniously. This cake has become my go-to dessert when I want something special yet uncomplicated—a perfect blend of comfort and elegance.
Ingredients
  • 170 g (6 oz) almonds
  • 4 large egg whites (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz)
  • 350 g (1 3/4 cups) granulated sugar
  • 0.5 g saffron threads
  • 150 g (5.3 oz) frozen lingonberries
Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. In a food processor or blender, grind the almonds into a fine powder. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form.

4. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the ground almonds until well combined.

5. Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan.

6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

7. Allow the cake to cool completely before carefully slicing it in half horizontally.

8. Spread a layer of saffron cream on the bottom half, followed by a layer of lingonberries.

9. Place the top half of the cake on top and press down gently.

10. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

11. Using a sharp, serrated knife, slice the cake and serve. Handle the knife with care to avoid injuries.
