I am going to try and make a petit gateau with a pistachio joconde layer, however I am not a big fan of almonds. Is there anything I can use that would act as a decent replacement for the ground almonds?
Original recipe is a Mary Berry recipe on the BBC good food site:
For the joconde sponge
- 3 free-range eggs whites
- 15g/½oz caster sugar
- 100g/3½oz ground almonds
- 100g/3½oz icing sugar
- 3 free-range eggs
- 30g/1oz plain four, sifted
- 30g/1oz unsalted butter, melted
