Pour almonds into a food processor and grind into crumbs. In a deep bowl we put sugar, zest and lemon juice. Stir these ingredients until the sugar melts. Next, add almonds here. In a separate dry bowl, beat the whites in the foam, and then transfer them in small portions into a bowl with the rest of the products. Lubricate the form with butter. Gently shift the dough into it. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the cake for about 45 minutes. Transfer the finished cake to the table and cut lengthwise into three tiers.
We make a cream. Mix the cream with vanilla and lightly warm. Melt the butter in a water bath. We combine it with cream. To this we add whipped egg yolks with sugar. Boil the cream until thickened. The resulting sweet mass is greased cake cakes. Melt the chocolate over the steam and apply it on the upper tier of the dessert.

Instructions for making almond pie with cream of cottage cheese and berry marmalade
- Make a jelly layer. We interrupt the berries in a blender. Add 200 grams of sugar to them and mix. We dilute 10 grams of gelatin as indicated in the instructions on the package. On low heat, heat the sweet berry mass and put in it swollen gelatin. In a silicone form we cover the cling film. Pour cooked jelly into this container. Leave it to freeze in a cool place.
- Cooking the dough. Immediately turn on the oven to a temperature of 180 degrees. While it is heating, we prepare the main part of the dessert "Almond Cake" - the dough. Beat eggs with sugar (100 grams). Separately, mix wheat flour with ground almonds and baking powder. This preparation is added to the sweet egg mass. Knead the dough with gentle movements. Cover the baking sheet with baking paper. We spread the dough into it and bake for half an hour. Cut the cake lengthwise into two parts and leave it to cool completely.
- We make a cream. From canned pineapples, pour the liquid into a separate cup and dilute gelatin (15 grams) in it. Beat cottage cheese with sugar. Pineapples cut into pieces. Mix them with gelatin. Beat cream and transfer to other products. Mix well (but do not beat). The cream is ready.
- Dessert decoration. We smear one cake from the dough with cream. We spread berry jelly on it. We cover this marmalade layer with the second half of the cake. Apply cream on top and sides of the cake. We decorate the dish with berries and pineapple rings. Leave to soak in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

The secrets of making almond desserts
To whisk the whites well, use chilled fresh eggs. The dishes in which you will do this must be clean and completely dry. The proteins themselves are slightly salted, this contributes to the formation of a strong foam.
In the preparation of this type of baking, you can use any fruit and berries. Peaches, cherries, plums will harmoniously combine with almond aroma and taste.
Do not rush to try almond cake immediately after cooking. Let it soak, and all the components that make up it, “make friends”. This delicacy is much tastier and more aromatic after it has been infused for at least 3-5 hours.
