Almond Paste Sponge Cake

by:




Almond paste sponge cake is similar to almond flour sponge cake, but has an even more intense almond flavor. The techniques used to make it are straightforward: Almond paste is beaten with egg yolks and sugar, and then the mixture is folded with beaten egg whites. Because the cake is somewhat dense, it works better as a thin sheet cake than it does as a layer cake, and it can be used to make petits fours or rolled cakes.
