| 1. Preheat the oven to 180 C or 350 F. | 2. Line a 23 cm spring-form tin on the bottom and sides with greaseproof paper. | 3. Keeping 1 tbsp of caster sugar aside for later, mix the egg yolks and sugar together until pale. | 4. Then add the almonds and zest. | 5. Beat the egg whites and remaining tablespoon of sugar until stiff. | 6. Carefully fold into the sugar-egg mixture, trying not to knock the air out of the whites. | 7. The egg yolk/sugar mixture will seem quite stiff at first, but keep folding in the egg whites and it will soon loosen up. | 8. Gently ease the batter into the lined tin. | 9. Place on the middle shelf of your oven and bake for 60-70 minutes until it is golden on top and firm to touch. | 10. While the torte is in the oven, make the syrup by placing the orange juice, lemon juice and cinnamon in a saucepan with a handful of sugar. | 11. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for about five minutes. | 12. Taste. | 13. The syrup should be quite tart. | 14. Cool and place in the fridge. | 15. When the torte is ready, remove from the oven and cool completely on a rack before opening the springform tin. | 16. Transfer to a plate and pierce four small holes in the top of the cake. | 17. Pour half the syrup over the top and serve with the rest of the syrup on the side. | 18. If you are making the cake ahead of time, I usually wait until a few hours before serving to pour the syrup over. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
