  • In a medium saucepan, heat a little water (for a bain-marie), place the bowl with the egg on top and add the sugar. Beat for approximately 2 minutes, until the sugar dissolves well and a fluid texture is formed, but slightly thick.
  • Immediately transfer the egg to a mixer with a balloon and beat for approximately 3 minutes, until you have a very fluffy mixture, double the volume and the color is almost white; at that point, turn off and remove the bowl from the mixer.
  • In the same bowl, sift the almond flour and the rest of the sugar, mix in an enveloping way until everything is integrated.
  • Transfer to a mold with waxed paper and bake at 170 ° C for approximately 45 minutes. Once ready, remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature and unmold.
  • Decorate with icing sugar and with the characteristic figure of the cake.
