Maria made this gooey almond cake as a pudding, which she topped with bananas and a tangy orange syrup. You’ll probably prefer crème fraîche to the tinned evaporated milk we poured onto it.
Heat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Butter a 20cm round cake tin and line the bottom with a disc of buttered baking parchment. Put the almonds in a food processor and grind finely.
