Cake Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a 22 cm round cake pan with butter and lightly dust it with flour.
Beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest until smooth.
Add egg yolks and egg whites one by one, beating until fluffy.
Gradually mix in rum and sifted flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level it out.
Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the cake for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.
Once cooled, slice the cake into three horizontal layers.

2. Glaze:

Boil water and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Whisk egg yolks until thick and pale.
Slowly pour the hot syrup into the egg yolks while whisking constantly.
Continue whisking until the mixture cools down.
Add softened butter and rum, mix well.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. Praline:

Grease a square baking tray.
In a saucepan, heat water and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
Add the sliced almonds and stir until the sugar crystallizes.
Pour the mixture into the greased tray and spread evenly.
Allow it to cool and harden, then break it into pieces.
