👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️ that’s a memorable cake my Papa made…. unfortunately he was not one for writing recipes, it’s a cup of this and a spoon of that…and it always was a special occasion… thank you so much for this recipe ♥️

[@kayfarquar2034]

Filling for frangipane tart. Merci for the tip on trying to fold in egg whites for a lighter cake.

[@DougBrown-h1n]

Exactly - but without the flour.

[@AmericanBeautyCorset]

So nice. I can't tolerate anything with flour! This pure perfection. I think some fresh summer berries would go well..😋 Thank you for this recipe

[@arnefredriksen3819]

Thank you for this gluten free cacke. Awsome. Arne , Norway.

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

Hallo Norway ! Greetings from the Free State of Florida 🇺🇸 🍊

[@Getpojke]

I make an almost exact same version of this that came from a recipe from the Levant. It's one large, flattish cake that's drizzled with a spiced citrus syrup at the end. One of the few cakes that get better if it has time to sit for a day or two. Watching you make the indulgent, single serve one in cocottes made me think of a more indulgent syrup though. I have a load of syrup left over from Luxardo maraschino cherries. That with a cherry would go with that "Bakewell/frangipane" like centre. 🍒 Yours looked insanely good.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

yes plenty of way to improve that cake

[@Moonpearl121]

I knew I had seen it somewhere before! But can use the cognac *and* tart it up with a citrusy drizzle. Lots of things can do with this recipe.

[@tahlialee8486]

Awesome! I'm looking forward to making this. As someone who lives alone, the small portion suits me really well. I'm gluten intolerant and cow dairy intolerant (but butter is OK) so I'll need to use a soft goat cheese instead of cream fraiche. I'm on a low inflammation diet as well so knowing the original recipe only had 50g of sugar is wonderful. I think some frozen raspberries would be a wonderful flavour addition. It's wonderful to find traditional recipes that suit all of my annoying dietary restrictions!

[@helenstella2226]

You could replace the sugar with allulose as well.

[@ebigarella]

Almonds can be highly inflammatory

[@tahlialee8486]

@ebigarella the science shows that nuts in general and almonds in particular are actually anti-inflammatory foods. My Dr who has qualifications in nutrition, specifically told me to increase my almond intake as it not only feeds gut bacteria that I need to feed (and yes we actually mapped my gut biome twice and got a 40 page report on it) but that almonds are a prebiotic food.

[@Nicole47254]

On doit endurer plus de 6 minutes de pub bruyantes (rien a voir avec la cuisine) avant de pouvoir regarder la video. :) Merci pour ce partage. cést un bonheur de pouvoir commencer a trouver des recettes sans gluten.

[@liahfox5840]

I'm going to start making more deserts nowadays. The only thing I've made desert wise is a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe I got off the back off the back of a Crisco can when I was 12. I've always been a savory cook.

[@rosezingleman5007]

I’m not gluten free anymore, but I still love a meyer lemon almond cake from those days, classic flourless chocolate cake and this looks like a keeper too. Thanks. Good use for the bag of almond flour I always buy for my granola recipe!

[@jamesa7506]

A very versatile dessert! 🤌👍

[@Moonpearl121]

Glorious - and my BFF is a coeliac, so definitely going to make this for both of us. Thank you!

[@Neenerella333]

I love that. Inviting your friend over for cake. My bestie is far away and I want to do this for her(not celiac, just intolerant of wheat). But cake with friends...❤❤❤

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

the great thing is that you can serve it to everyone 🙂

[@veraf7315]

Stephane, you didn't mention the cognac in your review of the finished cake. I'm curious if the flavor came through. Would you add more/less next time? Any other liquor suggestions? Thanks in advance, I definitely intend to try this one!

[@alexandrahe5273]

Very tasty recepi, realy delicious cake, easy and quick, as you said.

[@Divina_Volonta]

Merci 🙏🏻

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

👍

[@TheMrTomkennedy]

Thanks

[@methatronn]

I’ll try it! I have almond flour and cognac!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

perfect

[@rwatts2155]

Thanks for another wonderful recipe! I have not made this yet but I will make a recipe for a couple friends / neighbors who help me with test tasting recipes. Just an idea...how would I go about turning this into more of a souffle ? Something with a bit lighter crumb... Thanks!

[@neverconsidered2193]

It was going to be just an almond cake, then he remembered he is French!

[@AdrianCarlisle]

Im here for the accent & good looks & great recipes🤭

[@pinterestexpress8870]

Where did you buy the dish you cooked it in? Thanks

[@iteerrex8166]

If the almond flour is toasted, it’d be much better I’d guess. It won’t have that doughy center, besides the adding flavor. I know of a middle eastern dessert which is made with wheat flour, and they “toast” the flour on a dry pan, until it is golden brown. It also reduces the cooking time, because it’s already cooked.

[@joegarcia54]

Serve with English sauce?

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

Please, nothing English ! Sauce Anglaise, oui !😂

[@inderneilboseroychowdhury]

👍👌👏

[@tonimontana5852]

where are you

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

Io sono qui !!!!😂😅

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

Ich bin hier !

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

Ik ben haar !

[@e.s.r5809]

Since bitter almond is unsafe for human consumption (cyanide!!) is this actual bitter almond extract, or something named "bitter almond" that isn't actually bitter almonds?

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

All nuts have trace amounts of cyanuric acid & some have traces of arsenic, mercury, lead, et al !!! It is naturally occurring and no reason to be a snowflake ! If you eat preservatives, which I stopped consuming processed package goods decades ago, they are far worse for you, like prescription medicine !

[@eviljew8206]

Yuck!

[@kimquinn7728]

[@monicacorr6979]

Wonderful, thank you I cant wait to try 5:28
