Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add almond flour and mix until smooth. Fold in cherimoya pulp and cinnamon. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Top cake with sliced almonds and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes more.
Step 4
Cool cake on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen and invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
Ingredients
