Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free amaretti cookies
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 Eggs, large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (gluten-free)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
Place the gluten-free amaretti cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground into crumbs. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and frothy, about 3-4 minutes.
Slowly add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, continuing to whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, stir together the ground amaretti cookies, almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it.
Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
