Prep Method 8

  1. 1.In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the almond paste and sugar until crumbs form. Add the butter and then cream until smooth.
  2. 2.Add the rum, zest, spices, and cream, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
  3. 3.Gradually add the egg yolks, scraping down the bowl again.
  4. 4.Make a stiff peak French meringue with the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar.
  5. 5.Fold the meringue into the almond paste mixture until streaky, followed by the dry ingredients until homogenous.
  6. 6.Line a half hotel pan with pan spray and parchment paper.
  7. 7.Spoon a small amount of batter onto the parchment paper. With an off-set spatula, spread the batter to approximately ⅛-inch thick. You want to cover the paper completely with a thin, even layer.
  8. 8.Place under a broiler and cook until light brown; this should take about 1-2 minutes and often requires that you rotate the hotel pan to ensure even baking. Spread another layer of batter over the cake and place under the broiler. Continue on in this way until all of the batter is used.
