Orange Lemon Lime Tart

This is when you want a cake dessert which is tangy, tasty and moist, mostly gluten free except for a tiny bit of flour!:-)

Ingredients
Zest of 1 orange, 1 lemon, 1 lime
Juice of 1 orange, 1 lemon, 1 lime
80g castor sugar
70g almond meal
70g almond flakes
20g flour (sifted)
4 eggs, separated
125g butter
5-10g icing sugar

Preheat oven to 170deg.
Whisk the butter with part of the sugar till pale creamy. Add the egg yolks and remaining sugar, and whisk till pale yellow and thickness such that can draw line.
Slowly add in the juices and stir to combine.
Add zest and almond meal and 40g of the almond flakes and fold into mixture.
Whisk egg whites till become foamy and fold over.
Bake in preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, depending on oven.
When cake is taken out of oven, and cooled off a bit, sprinkle remainding almond flakes over the surface and then "snowflake" icing sugar over it.

Bon Appetite!
