Ingredients

• 3 - eggs
• 1/2 cup - ground almonds
• 1/2 cup - milk powder
• 1 cup - sugar
• 1/2 tsp - saffron strands
• 100g - butter
• 1 tbsp - flaked almonds

How to Make Almond Slices

• Beat the eggs together in a bowl and set aside.
• Place the ground almonds, milk powder, sugar and saffron in a large bowl and stir to mix well.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan and pour over the dry ingredients.
• Mix well with a fork.
• Add the beaten eggs to the almond mixture and stir to blend well.
• Spread the mixture in a shallow oven-proof dish and bake in a pre-heated oven at 160 degrees C for 45 minutes.
• Test whether the cake is cooked by piercing with the tip of the knife or a skewer- it will come out clean if it is cooked thoroughly.
• Once it has cooled, cut the almond cake into slices.
• Decorate the almond slices with flaked almonds and transfer them into serving plates.
• Serve hot or cold.
