  • About

This cake recipe is simple, versatile, and delectable. It has a pleasing ratio of chewy interior to crusty exterior, splitting the difference between a sponge cake and a cookie. For me, the chance to use up some egg whites is a nice bonus, but maybe that’s just because I have dozens of egg whites in my fridge at any given time.

Ingredients

You will Need

  • ½ pound butter
  • cups almond flour (or substitute hazelnut or chestnut flour)

Method

  1. Heat the butter in a saucepan until it turns brown and nutty, stirring frequently.
