I love the crunch of the almonds in these cakes. They add a nice texture contrast to the soft and fluffy cake.

These cakes are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. They're also a nice change from the usual chocolate or vanilla cakes.

The almond flavor was a bit too strong for me. I think I would have preferred a more subtle flavor.

These cakes were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked them. Next time I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time.

These almond tea cakes were a delightful treat! The almond flavor was subtle yet distinct, and the texture was moist and fluffy. I enjoyed them as a snack with a cup of tea, but they would also make a lovely dessert.
