  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 180C / 360F. Lightly grease and line an 9" cake tin (a spring form tin is easiest).

  • Transfer cake batter to the cake tin and bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted comes away clean.
  • Allow to cool in tin for 15 minutes, then remove outer sides of the pan and let it cool completely before removing the base. (If not using a spring form tin then allow to cool completely in tin).
  • Dust with cocoa powder and/or icing sugar to serve. Best served with whipped cream or ice cream and strawberries or raspberries.

Notes

Almonds - you can use raw or roasted, or replace with almond meal.
