Can you please tell us the quantity of almond flour you got from the whole almonds? We want to skip the hard part and just use store-bought almond flour. Thanks

[@meetmeinmadrid]

Yes, of course! You can use the same amount (300 grams)

I ate it in a reataurant, I think they cheat, added flour, it was very dry, so I made it, mine it was very moist

There wasn't any sugar in the medieval times.

Hi! As far as I know, it was first mentioned as "torta real" back in 1557. Understandibly, the ingredients could have changed somewhat since then. Thank you for dropping a comment!

Yes, in the real/royal court they probably used honey instead of sugar.
