About
Almond base ▢ Preheat oven to 345°F (175°C) and grease cake form (I use a 27 cm spring form) – you can line the bottom with baking paper if you like. ▢ Grind almonds in an almond grinder or food processor. I like to keep them a bit coarse. ▢ Gently whisk the eggs and sugar together until combined (no longer).

Steps
Step 1
Almond base ▢ Preheat oven to 345°F (175°C) and grease cake form (I use a 27 cm spring form) – you can line the bottom with baking paper if you like. ▢ Grind almonds in an almond grinder or food processor.
Step 2
I like to keep them a bit coarse. ▢ Gently whisk the eggs and sugar together until combined (no longer).
Step 3
Stir in the ground almonds, flour, and baking powder. ▢ Pour batter into cake form and bake for about 45 – 50 minutes, monitoring to make sure the top doesn't burn.
50 minStep 4
Yellow egg cream ▢ Add egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla to a saucepan. Heat over low/medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens – about 15 minutes.
15 minStep 5
Turn up the heat if the mixture doesn't thicken, but be careful not to boil. ▢ Let the mixture cool to room temperature and then add the butter.
Step 6
You can use an electric mixer for a fluffy egg cream. Assembly ▢ Wait for the cake to cool completely before removing from form and frosting.

Substitutions
egg (silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)) → silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)
Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.
flour (a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)) → a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)
Coatings and roux can swap. Yeast breads need a blend designed for gluten-free baking.
cream (whole milk + a knob of butter) → whole milk + a knob of butter
Thinner and less rich. Reduce a little longer if you need body.
butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.
