- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (165 °C fan). Grease a 20x28 cm tray and line it with parchment.
- Beat the softened butter with the sugar until fluffy (3-4 minutes). Add the vanilla, cinnamon and lemon zest.
- Fold in the ground almonds, sliced almonds and chocolate pieces.
- Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt to stiff peaks and fold into the mixture in three additions.
- Smooth the batter into the tray and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and a skewer in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the tray, then cut into 16 slices. Serve dusted with powdered sugar or glazed with chocolate. In a closed box it stays soft for 4 days.
