ABOUT Almond Tea-Time Cake RECIPE

Super soft tea cake and it is the simplest of recipes I have ever come across. This recipe was taken from a Facebook friend of mine, Ms. Shivi Choudhary.

Ingredients Serving: 6

3/4th cup sugar, turned into a fine powder
3/4th cup fresh cream/malai
1&1/4th cup maida
2 tbsp vanilla custard powder
1 small teaspoon baking powder
1 small teaspoon Eno
1/3 cup Milk
A handful of almonds, previously soaked in hot water and their skin removed
a handful of almond/mixed nuts chopped

Instructions

In a mixing bowl or a mixie jar, beat well the powdered sugar and malai till they are mixed together.
Add maida, custard powder, baking powder and eno and beat well till a thick paste is formed.
Now add milk bit by bit and beat till you get the consistency of a cake batter. The batter should not be runny. Keep it thick yet easy to pour.
Grind the soaked and peeled almonds to a paste using just one or two spoons of milk. Add this paste to the cake batter and mix.
Preheat the oven to 170 degree Celsius.
Grease a cake pan with oil and then dust it nicely with maida. Pour the batter in it, pat the bottom of the pan once to release air bubbles. Garnish generously with almond shavings or any nuts of your choice.
Bake at 150-160 degrees Celsius for 30-40 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
