    ALMOND PASTE
  • 1 cup blanched almonds
  • ¾ cup icing sugar
  • ¼ cup egg whites
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1½ teaspoons almond essence

  • How To Cook:
    1. Mix butter, sugar and egg (use an electric mixer, at medium speed, if available).

    2. Fold in sifted flour and chill for 15 minutes.

    3. Roll out two-thirds of this dough on lightly floured waxed paper into a round 1/8 inch thick.

    4. Fit into a 9-inch sandwich tin, carefully peeling off the paper, and if necessary leveling the top.

    5. Spread with raspberry jam (optional), then with the almond paste.

    6. Roll out the remaining dough into an oblong 1/8 inch thick.

    7. With a pastry wheel, cut 6 strips about 8 inches by ¾ inch.

    8. Lay 3 strips 1¼ inches apart over the almond paste; lay the rest at right angles.

    9. Re-roll the pastry trimmings and cut 5 strips, 5 inches by ¾ inch.

    10. Place end to end against the inside edge of the tin; with the pastry wheel trim level with the top of the cake.

    11. Bake in a moderate oven (350°F) for 45 minutes; cool in the tin, then lift out with a spatula and place on a cake rack until completely cold.

    ALMOND PASTE:
    1. It is best to start preparing this early in the day.

    2. Using a very fine blade, mince almonds 3 times.

    3. Blend with icing sugar, egg whites (unbeaten), egg, butter and almond essence.

    4. Refrigerate this paste.
