How to Make Makrout A Louz Algerian Almond Cakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the ground almonds (and desiccated coconut, if using).
- Shape the dough into small diamond shapes (approximately 2 inches long) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the cakes are baking, prepare the syrup: In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Once the cakes are baked and slightly cooled, dip each one into the warm syrup, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Let the cakes cool completely before drizzling with icing sugar.
- Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
