Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about

Bolo de Alfarroba

 
Ingredients

• 6 eggs (divided into whites and yolks)
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cups butter (or plain yogurt)
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising cake flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 cup alfarroba flour
• 1 handful of finely chopped almonds (substitute hazelnuts or walnuts )
• Suggestion: Add 2 tbsp. of alfarroba liquor to the batter

Instructions

1. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar, vanilla and yogurt until it becomes an aerated mix.
2. Sift the flours and baking powder together, then gradually add them to the wet mixture.
3. Beat the egg whites to soft peaks and fold into the batter.
4. Coat the almonds lightly in flour – so that they don’t fall to the bottom of the mix – and add to the batter.
5. Butter and flour a cake pan, add the batter and spread evenly, put in the oven to bake for around 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You do not want this cake to be dry, it should moist.
