Supreme of Volcanoes

I present you the Supreme of Volcanoes, a pure almond delight. It is a flourless cake that literally melts in your mouth. I had discovered this cake under the name of “Visan cake” or “Délice des Amandiers” and it has completely bewitched me, to the point of looking for a long time for a way to approach this recipe. I tried several blends, cooked several trials before I came up with this result. 

First of all, I would like to point out that this cake only comes into its own with whole blanched almonds that you grind yourself. Powdered almonds will not give the same result. The cake is really luscious with the little pieces of almonds that give a unique texture. 

Recipe for 5 volcano supremes:

-4 eggs
-250g of blanched almonds
-180g of sugar
-90g of butter
-1/2 teaspoon liquid vanilla


Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Start by grinding the blanched almonds in a blender. It is better for this recipe to use whole almonds that you grind yourself, because in this way you will obtain a texture with some small pieces in the cake.

You just have to grind them into a powder (a little finer) than in the picture.
