Ingredients

For the cake

  • 2 eggs
  • 60g white sugar
  • 35g plain flour or cake flour (T45) - sifted
  • 20g ukiko/wheat starch - If you don't have any just add 20g plain flour instead
  • 15g unsalted butter
  • 10g milk

For the syrup

  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract - (optional)

For the butter cream

  • 10g meringue powder
  • 70g water
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • dash of salt (optional)
  • 90g white sugar
  • 35g water
  • 160g butter - soften
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract - (optional)

For the almond praline topping

  • 25g almond - chopped
  • 25g sugar
  • 1 tbsp water

For the almond sugar

  • 20g almond powder
  • 20g confectioners sugar

Instructions

  • 1. Make the cake Sift together the flour and baking powder 3 times. Set aside.
  • 2. In a small microwave bowl, combine the syrup ingredients (water and sugar but not the vanilla extract yet) and microwave for about 1 min or until until the sugar has dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature. Stir in the vanilla extract (if you use some). Set aside.
  • 3. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease a cake mold (use butter or spray). Set aside.
  • 4. In a mixing bowl add eggs and sugar. Whisk to combine with an electric mixer until it whitens, doubles in volume and forms ribbons (it takes 5~6min). Slow down to low speed for a few seconds and then stop.
  • 5. Gently add the sifted flour mixture from #1 and mix with a rubber spatula until incorporated.
  • 6. Put butter and milk in a micro-wave safe bowl and microwave them till the butter melts. Pour this melted butter mixture little by little into the cake mixture. Mix gently with a spatula until it is homogeneous. Do not over mix.
  • 7. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 20 min or until done. Insert a skewer in the center of the cake : if there is no sticky butter residual, then your baking is done.
  • 8. Remove from the oven and take the cake out of the pan. Let it cool to room temperature on the wire rack. Set aside.

Almond praline topping

  • 9. Place the sugar and water in a small cooking pot over low heat, and stir constantly until the sugar is lightly browned and melted. Stir in the chopped almonds and mix well until the texture hardens to a crunchy state. Let it cool and set aside.

  • 9. In a another bowl, add the soften butter and beat until smooth. Gradually add the Italian meringue from #8 into the butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract (1/2 tsp).
