Almond cake

I just love this Almond cake because it reminds me of sunny winter days.

We will begin by measuring 100 grams of almonds and powder them in a dry grinder.

Then we move on to  100 grams butter at room temperature and 150 grams castor sugar.

Cream the butter and sugar or if you are in real hurry then add the three eggs right away and get a nice creamy batter.

Sift 50 grams  flour , almond powder and one teaspoon of baking powder.

Add  the flour mixture one tablespoon  at a time to the egg mixture and beat gently with the hand or your egg beater. Add a teaspoon of vanilla essence.

Spoon the batter into your baking dish and decorate with halved almonds.

Bake at 180 degrees for thirty minutes.

Enjoy the cake with a hot cup of tea or coffee
