I remember the first time I made this cake for a family gathering. My grandmother was visiting, and she loved anything made with almonds. I was nervous because I’d never baked a flourless cake before, and I didn’t want it to turn out dry or heavy. But when it came out of the oven with that golden-brown top and the sweet almond scent filling the air, I knew I’d made something special. We ate it with warm raspberry sauce, and everyone’s eyes lit up like it was a holiday.
