    I make an almost exact same version of this that came from a recipe from the Levant. It's one large, flattish cake that's drizzled with a spiced citrus syrup at the end. One of the few cakes that get better if it has time to sit for a day or two. Watching you make the indulgent, single serve one in cocottes made me think of a more indulgent syrup though. I have a load of syrup left over from Luxardo maraschino cherries. That with a cherry would go with that "Bakewell/frangipane" like centre. 🍒 Yours looked insanely good.

    Awesome! I'm looking forward to making this. As someone who lives alone, the small portion suits me really well. I'm gluten intolerant and cow dairy intolerant (but butter is OK) so I'll need to use a soft goat cheese instead of cream fraiche. I'm on a low inflammation diet as well so knowing the original recipe only had 50g of sugar is wonderful. I think some frozen raspberries would be a wonderful flavour addition. It's wonderful to find traditional recipes that suit all of my annoying dietary restrictions!

      @ebigarella the science shows that nuts in general and almonds in particular are actually anti-inflammatory foods. My Dr who has qualifications in nutrition, specifically told me to increase my almond intake as it not only feeds gut bacteria that I need to feed (and yes we actually mapped my gut biome twice and got a 40 page report on it) but that almonds are a prebiotic food.

      @kjdude8765 Місяць тому +2

      Yes, almond flour is just ground finer. You might want to go with the whipped egg whites suggestion as the fine flour may make this stodgy without some lift. I'd reserve both egg whites and whip them to soft peaks with a little bit lemon juice. Then fold them in at the end.

    If the almond flour is toasted, it’d be much better I’d guess. It won’t have that doughy center, besides the adding flavor. I know of a middle eastern dessert which is made with wheat flour, and they “toast” the flour on a dry pan, until it is golden brown. It also reduces the cooking time, because it’s already cooked.

  • @ginarios9442

    Thank you. Could one replace the almonds for another nut? Almonds have a lot of lectins in them. Lectins are like knives against the stomach lining. Dr Gundry has a list of good foods and bad foods, regarding the lectin issue. // SHLM & HaB (peace & love). The Name of the Creator is Hayah Asher Hayah, as what He told Moshah (Exodus 3:14), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is a curse to the G-o-d name (Isaiah 65:11-12), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. All followers of the Messiah are to do the 7 appointed times (Leviticus 23), but no more animal sacrifices, following the Crucifixion of the Messiah. We are now of the order of MLK TSDQ (King, righteous), to Whom ABRaHM tithed. Ask the Messiah to be your personal Savior. He said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). ...for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Hayah (Romans 3:23). The wages for sin is death but the gift of ALaHYM is Everlasting Life through Messiah Yahushgh our Master (Romans 6:23). That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahushgh and believe in your heart that ALaHYM raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Romans 10:9). He Himself is an Atoning Offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world (1 John 2:2).

      @@milkrecu I do thank you for sharing your thoughts, but the irony is funny--the recipe is for people suffering as I had from what the world calls "gluten." It is the regular wheat flour that has lectins that is not edible and that causes gut problems for people--and this recipe recognizes that. But sadly almonds have lectins and aid in destroying the gut. Dr Gundry has a simple list of bad foods and good foods, regarding lectins. There is no evil in being vigilant about avoiding poisins that destroy the body. I had leaky gut and was dying-no energy left in me and my gut was destroyed from the lectins. So now I am 100% eating no lectins. I do come in thanksgiving and joy for the life beyond measure the Creator has given unto us. And I am hopeful that you will ask the Messiah to be your Savior. He is the only way for us to have Salvation. Why do we need to be saved? Without the Messiah, one will be collected as kindling and thrown in the fire. Why? ...for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Hayah (Romans 3:23).
