- Place the goat cheese mixture bowl on your work surface and using a spatula, scoop about a third of the egg whites into the goat cheese mixture. Fold the egg whites in using fast, large strokes. Add the balance of the egg whites to the goat cheese mixture; fold the egg whites in using the same method of large strokes, trying not to lose any of eggs' fluffiness 7 scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pour the batter into a parchment-lined cake pan; sprinkle the top with sliced almonds. Place the cake in the center of the oven for 35 minutes; transfer to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely in the pan
