    Excellent cake with a flavor reminiscent of frangipane. Good, but a bit heavy, to be avoided after a large meal. However, its taste is outstanding!

    Hello!! Delicious My suggestion: This cake is the second time I've made it and it always turns out well. The first time, I discarded the egg yolks, but this time I tried it with them, and it gives the cake a slightly fruitier taste. I didn't sprinkle sliced almonds on top; at the end of baking my cake, I made a delicious almond glaze that gives the cake a crunchy texture while remaining soft.

    delicious thank you very much for this recipe! My suggestion: with toasted almond powder found in health stores, it's a wonder...much more flavor

    Delicious Very good, I didn't add alcohol for the kids, it was light with a strawberry sauce; for me, the sugar was well balanced, not too sweet with the sauce. My suggestion: However, can you please tell me if I add more ground almonds to enhance the flavor, should I use less flour? Thank you.
