Gató d'ametlla · Palma

The Mallorcan almond cake: ground almonds, eggs and sugar with no flour at all, baked flat and served with a scoop of almond ice cream on top.

Mallorca has grown almonds since the Moorish period, and gató is what the island does with them. There is no flour in the cake, only ground almonds, whipped eggs, sugar and lemon zest, which gives a dense, damp crumb. It is served in a wedge with almond ice cream melting over it, a pairing that Palma restaurants treat as non-negotiable. Celler Sa Premsa lists it as the standard finish to a Mallorcan meal, and it is naturally gluten free.
