Duffy almond cake, Taobao has a store. I have eaten more than a dozen, and this one is the best.
The place where almond cakes are sold in Beijing is Fapai 1855 (Huamao Store), and the address is Huamao International Apartment, No.89 Jianguo Road, Chaoyang District/Building KLOC-0/5 102. The packaging in macaroon is also super beautiful and not expensive.
Is the almond cake hard or soft?
Hard, like a biscuit, but a little hollow, crunchy to bite, filling similar to cream, different taste.
Taste and appearance
The almond cake has distinct layers, crisp outside and soft inside. When you take a bite, you first taste a thin and brittle shell, followed by a soft and dense inner layer. Different from the texture of cream, the toughness of almond cake supports the filling and adds chewiness to the soft filling.
A perfect almond cake has a smooth surface, no pits and scars, a faint luster under the light, and a beautiful lace skirt will appear at the bottom of the cake. Due to the addition of different decorative materials, such as matcha powder and fruit powder, almond cake presents rich and colorful colors.
It takes about 75 grams of white sugar and 90 grams of powdered sugar to make a cake, and about 60 grams of white sugar is added in the process of filling, so many people think almond cakes are too sweet to eat.
An important reason why almond cake is becoming more and more popular and attractive is its colorful and beautiful appearance. But these beautiful appearances are actually due to food pigments. Some people also tried to add various natural powders to the batter, such as matcha powder and chocolate powder, and the situation changed slightly.
