- Makes: 1 serving (80.1 g)

Ingredients
- 12.5 g Butter, softened
- 14 g Caster sugar
- 16.5 g Eggs
- 12.5 g Ground almonds
- 4 g Plain flour
- 0.1 g Salt
- 2 g Rum (for the batter)
- 4 g Rum (to soak)
- 12 g Icing sugar (for the icing)
- 2.5 g Rum (for the icing)
Method
- Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Butter a 20 cm round cake tin and line the base with baking paper.
- Beat the butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the ground almonds, the flour, the salt and the rum for the batter.
- Spread the mixture in the tin and bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden and a skewer pushed into the middle comes out clean.
- While the cake is still hot, prick it all over with a skewer and spoon the rum for soaking slowly over it. Leave it to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack, top side up, and let it cool completely.
- Mix the icing sugar with the rum for the icing to a thin, smooth icing. Pour it over the cake and spread it over the top and down the sides in a thin layer. Leave it for an hour to set.
- It keeps well for several days wrapped, and the flavour improves after a day. Cut it into 10 slices. Makes 10 slices; the amounts are for one serving, so multiply every ingredient by 10 for the whole cake.
