• 1 teaspoon Baking powder (gluten-free)
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the gluten-free amaretti cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground into crumbs. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and frothy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, continuing to whisk until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, stir together the ground amaretti cookies, almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a smooth batter forms.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it.

Step 10

Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
