Instructions to make Sig's Traditional Baumkuchen (Tree Cake):

- Mix the flour, fine ground almonds, cinnamon and cornflour, gently lift under the eggwhites until combined, set aside.

Bake in oven for a few minutes until slightly browned, remove from oven, slightly cool layer, spread another 2 tablespoons of mixture over repeat process until you used up all mixture. Depending on size of tin this makes about 10 to 12 layers.
