- 0.5 g saffron threads
- 150 g (5.3 oz) frozen lingonberries
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

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.

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.
