Coat pan with nonstick spray, place prepared paper round in bottom of pan, and spray paper. Coat with almond flour.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs with sugar and salt until thick and increased in volume, about 5 minutes.
Beat in almond and vanilla extract. In three additions, gently fold in almond flour.
Evenly spread batter into prepared pan, tapping pan on counter to expel large air bubbles.

This is so divine! I made it for my grandson who is limited by allergies to milk in most baked goods. I think it will be our favorite desert henceforth. Being a marzipan fan I think I’m going to roll out marzipan to put on the top of the next one to see how scrumptious that will be as well. Probably overkill, but hey you only live once!
Thank you for the luscious recipes to use your products. I always enjoy them so much.
