Ingredients

  • 3 eggs

  • 125 grs of maize meal

  • 25 g of raisins without seeds

  • 25 g of peeled and chopped walnuts

  • 3 tablespoons of Amaretto

  • 40 ml sunflower oil

  • 100 ml of milk

  • 100 grams of sugar

  • 1 teaspoon of lemon peel

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (Royal type)

  • Glass sugar

Directions

  • Butter the baking tin and sprinkle it with flour, making sure to cover it well and remove the excess.
  • Preheat the oven to 160 ºC (turbo function) or 180 ºC (up and down, traditional oven)
  • Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks and set aside the egg whites.
  • Beat the egg yolks together with the sugar, oil, milk, cinnamon, raisins, nuts and grated lemon peel.
  • Add the gofio (sifted) and the baking powder.
  • Mount the egg whites on a snowy spot (if we put a pinch of salt they will be very consistent) and add them to the previous mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into the mould and bake it for 45 minutes.
  • Once baked, let it cool down on a rack before removing it from the mould.
  • Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.
