- Preheat oven to 180° C. Grease a baking tray of 24 cm in diameter. In the oven, in a suitable bowl, melt 50 g of butter. Take it out of the oven and let it cool.
- Mix flour, baking powder and finely ground almonds. If necessary, add a bit of salt. Grate the lemon zest over the mixture or use the essential lemon oil.
- Break the eggs into a bowl, add sugar and beat with a mixer until the mixture is white and creamy, three times the size of the original compound.
- Pour all the melted butter into the bowl, then stir in the crème fraîche. Slowly add the almond mixture without kneading too much.
- Pour into the mould and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the mould and let cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve accompanied by a salad of peaches and melon.
