Recipe of the week: Almond Cakes
1 cake: -C. 4P. 9F. 97 Calories
4 ozs. ground almonds
2 eggs
2½ oz of milk
1 oz. margarine
1 oz. desiccated coconut
5 tablets saccharin
Place milk, saccharin, and margarine in a small bowl and stand in a saucepan of hot water to melt the margarine and dissolve the saccharin. Beat the eggs well in a basin and stir in the contents of the bowl. To the mixture add the almonds and coconut. Stir well. This should produce a thin paste. Divide the paste into ten slightly greased tins or greaseproof cases and cook in a hot oven for 15-20 minutes. Keep in an airtight jar. (Joan Robins)
