Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, cream together the 200g almond paste and 100g butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Beat in the 3 eggs one at a time, then mix in the 100g sugar until well combined.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the 50g coconut flakes evenly over the surface.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. Step 6

    Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with the 2 tbsp powdered sugar and top with the 1 cherry before serving.
