Culinary TV shows and Internet sites offer many delicious dishes with elegant names. But sometimes I don’t want to cook anything complicated, it’s better to dwell on something simple and tasty, as in childhood. Get acquainted with the classic recipe for almond cake (with photo), which has a long familiar taste.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
Sweet almond varieties are suitable for dessert, not fried, but raw. Almond petals should not be taken. When buying nuts you need to carefully inspect. The kernels should be of the same oblong shape and uniform brown color, peel and smell good. They should not have signs of damage by insects and fungi, as well as an unpleasant odor.
Important! It is best to buy inshell or packaged almonds (if peeled)but not by weight. The shell, like the packaging, protects the kernels from damage and external influences.
It is not necessary to fry and peel the almonds from the peel; it is used raw for baking. Inshell nuts should be doused with boiling water and left for half an hour, and peeled nuts should be washed with warm water and dried.
