    Temperature: 180 °C / 356 °F

    Ready to continue when: The tin is lightly oiled and its base is fully lined with paper.

    Whisk the eggs and sugar

    Whisk the large eggs with the caster sugar until creamy and foamy, with a visible trail left when the beaters are lifted.

    Ready to continue when: The mixture is creamy and foamy, and leaves a visible trail when the beaters are lifted.

  3. 03

    Finish the batter

    Sift the wheat flour and baking powder over the mixture. Gradually fold in the ground almonds; when the flour is nearly incorporated, add the olive oil, amaretto, zest of 2 lemons and juice of 1 lemon. Mix gently until no dry patches remain visible.
