Butter Cake

This is the second attempt of baking an almond butter cake. I used the normal pound cake recipe and added 125gm ground almond.It received good comments from my colleagues who tasted it. It is delicious when eaten warm. This cake reminds me of the kind of plain butter cake that we used to eat when we were young.

250 gm butter

210 castor sugar

4 eggs - slightly whisk

230 gm self raising flour  -  sieve

125 gm ground almond

8-9 tabsp milk

1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

1)   Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.

2)  Add in eggs one at a time and continue to beat at a low speed.  Add in vanilla essence

3)  Add in flour, ground almond and milk alternately.  Pour mixture into a 8" buttered pan.

4)  Bake at 180 deg C for about 50 mins.    Check with a skewer and if it comes out clean, it is done.
