Ingredients:	Ingredients: 1/2 lb. (1-3/4 cups) blanched whole almonds 6 large eggs, separated 1-1/4 cups superfine sugar Grated zest of 1 orange Grated zest of 1 lemon 4 drops almond extract Confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Directions:	Directions: Finely grind the almonds in a food processor. With an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks with the sugar to a smooth pale cream. Beat in the zests and almond extract. Add the ground almonds and mix very well. With clean beaters, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold them into the egg and almond mixture (the mixture is thick, so you will need to turn it over quite a bit into the egg whites). Grease an 11-inch springform pan, preferably nonstick, with butter and dust it with flour. Pour in the cake batter, and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 40 minutes, or until it feels firm to the touch. Let cool before turning out. Just before serving, dust the top of the cake with confectioners’ sugar.
