Preheat the oven to 180°.

As for the preparation of the mascarpone cream, you will need two bowls .

In the first bowl, mix the egg whites with the sugar, beating well until almost whipped.

In the second bowl, incorporate the butter and sugar and when you have obtained a certain foaminess, add the yolks, one at a time, working after each yolk. Add the flour, baking powder, grated lemon zest, ground almonds and milk.
