MOIST ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and position the rack to the center of the oven. Line the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan with a round of parchment paper, or butter and dust it lightly with flour, tapping out any excess.
• With an electric mixer, beat together the sugar and almond paste until the paste is finely broken up (the sugar crystals help break the paste into pieces--so don't add the butter yet!).
• Now add the butter and beat for a few minutes until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl stir together the eggs with a fork then dribble it into the batter as you beat. Add the vanilla.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt with a whisk. Stir the dry ingredients into the batter until just incorporated.
• Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may take a bit longer due to the variation in different brands of almond paste.
• Cool the cake on a rack before serving.

• Preheat the oven at 350F. Spray individual ramekins with Pam. Cream the butter and sugar until almost white. Beat in the eggs then the sifted flour and ground almonds, mix well. Last, stir in the almond extract, lemon zest and juice. Place in sprayed ramekins, filling 2/3 full. Bake 25-30 minutes. Serving suggestion: Leave in ramekins and serve warm (if needed, reheat in microwave 50 seconds), drizzled with cold lemon curd anglaise sauce. Lemon Curd Anglaise Sauce Combine the egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl. Whip until light and fluffy. Bring the half and half to simmer. Gradually pour the hot cream into the yolk mixture while stirring rapidly. Place the mixture over simmering water and heat slowly, stirring constantly, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be very careful not to get it hotter than 190 degrees or it will curdle. Immediately pour the custard into another container and continue stirring for a minute or so. Stir in the vanilla extract. Set the sauce aside to cool, stirring from time to time until cold. Place lemon curd in a medium mixing bowl and whisk in 3 tablespoons of creme anglaise, until a smooth consistency has been achieved. Fold in remaining creme anglaise. Store covered and refrigerated.
