Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. Grease and line a 23cm round, deep cake tin with baking parchment. In a food processor, whizz the ground almonds until very fine, then add the sugars and whizz again. Add the butter and extracts and whizz to combine. Add the eggs, one by one, whizzing after each addition. In a bowl, combine the flour, cornflour and baking powder with a pinch of salt and gently mix into the batter (take care not to overmix).
