Whisk the eggs and sugar for 4 minutes, until pale.
4 min04:00 - 2
Fold in the almond flour, lemon zest, and cinnamon with a spatula without deflating the mixture.

- 4
Bake the cake at 180°C for 22 minutes, until the top is golden.
22 min22:00 - 5
Rest in the mold for 15 minutes so the almond texture does not crumble when cut.
