Japanese Almond cake

Shaped like half a lemon but with an extremely light and airy texture, these almond cakes are one of those things that you either love or get extremely bored by.  There is very little almond flavour there and in fact not a lot of flavour at all.  It is simply a very light cake that leaves me wondering “Why bother”.  In my opinion it is not one of those so-subtle-it-is-sublime sort of things.  It is more like so-subtle-it-bores-me-to-tears.
