Ingredients
 
 

For the base:

  • 200 gr softened butter
  • 200 gr sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 170 gr flour
  • 130 gr almond flour
  • 1 ½ tsp cardamom powder

For the top layer:

  • 200 gr chopped pecans
  • 60 gr coconut flakes
  • 200 gr brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp finely chopped crystalized ginger

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180° C/356° F.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a stand or electric mixer for this step.
  • Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Mix the flour, almond flour and cardamom powder in a separate bowl and incorporate into the butter mix.
  • Place the batter in a high traybake tin lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes. Then remove and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, ginger and cornflour. Add the chopped pecans and coconut flakes.
  • Pour the mix over the previously baked base and bake for a further 25 minutes.
  • Let cool completely before giving it a good dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Tips:If you’d like, you can replace the coconut flakes with 100 grams (2/3 cup) of chopped nuts.
