method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 12-hole, 1/3-cup (80ml) friand pan or muffin pan. Whisk egg whites in a bowl until slightly frothy. Whisk in butter, icing sugar, almond meal, flour, and combined rind until just combined. Spoon evenly into prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centres comes out clean. Set aside in the pan for 5 mins to cool before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the syrup, place the orange juice, sugar, star anise, and 1/3 cup (80ml) water in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium. Bring to the boil. Cook for 5 mins or until syrup thickens.
- Top the cakes with cream, syrup, and lemon zest.
