6. Preheat oven to 160°C.

7. Line a 22cm cake tin with baking paper.

8. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on a medium high speed for 8 minutes or until the mixture is thick, pale and tripled in volume.

9. Add the purée and almond meal and fold gently with a large metal spoon until just combined.

10. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin.

11. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

12. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
