Time 1h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
¾ cup sugar
4 medium eggs
7 ounces almond meal
2 cups cherimoya pulp, seeds removed (about 2 small cherimoya)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
  • Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until well combined. Add almond flour and mix until smooth. Fold in cherimoya pulp and cinnamon. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Top cake with sliced almonds and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 more minutes.
  • Cool cake on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen and invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely. Dust cooled cake with confectioners' sugar to serve.
