I have finally been able to master the "pudim" and am so glad that this almond cake came out perfect. It was so good that my boyfriend couldn't wait for it to cool down before having a taste. It was so good that we ate the whole thing in three days. JUST THE TWO OF US! you cant just have one sliver, its impossible. So now I only bake it to take to someone else's home, otherwise I would be morbidly obese. i have made two already and now making the third appearance for tomorrows Páscoa feast (Easter feast). This cake and my perfect "pudim" are going to be a huge hit. Thanks so much for the recipe. Keep them coming. This recipe is amazing.

And there's no need to toast the almonds. It won't hurt, but it certainly could add a layer of flavor--as long as you toast them lightly. If you do toast them, I'd suggest using only blanched nuts.

Could I substitute an 8-inch springform pan or should I use something smaller? Thanks! If I wanted to halve the recipe, what size pan would you recommend?

But, much healthier, as that recipe asked for seven eggs or so. But, would it be possible to tell me in grams the amount of GROUND almonds I would need to include? I live in Spain and am able to buy very nice ground almonds for baking. If you have this measurement at your convenient disposal, I would be very, very grateful for it.

Do you think it would freeze well? I have so much work to do the few days before the Seder. Thanks, Gaby David,
