Grease two 8-inch (20cm) round cake pans with butter, and line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease the parchment as well, and set aside. In a large clean bowl, place egg whites and pinch of salt.

As a precaution, Ikea announced it had removed the cake from sale in 23 countries. Magnusson said there was no health risk. "None of the [affected] cakes made it to our restaurants," she said.

This cake is also known as Ikea almond cake as Ikea selling this cake at their stores. This beautiful cake is light, not too sweet, easy to make, gluten free and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.
