Preheat the oven to 170°C.
Butter and flour a cake pan or line it with baking paper.
2️⃣ Make the dough

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy.
Stir in the melted butter (or oil), vanilla and lemon zest.
Sift in the ground almonds, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
3️⃣ Bake

Pour the mixture into the tin, then sprinkle the top with sliced ​​or grated almonds.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and the centre is no longer jiggly.
4️⃣ Serve
Cool, then serve with a dusting of icing sugar, fresh fruit or whipped cream.
🔥 Extra tips:
✔ For an even more intense almond flavour, you can mix in 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
✔ For a more citrusy flavour, add orange zest.
✔ For a chocolate version, sprinkle chopped dark chocolate on top before baking.
