About Badam Cake, Almond Cake

Ingredients

Nutrient values

The Badam Cake is a mildly-sweet treat with the delectable crunch of almonds. Made with yeast, this cake has a unique loaf-like texture, which gets even better with the almond flakes that regale every bite.

While almond by itself has a very nice and soothing flavour, we have used cardamom powder and vanilla essence to enhance the flavour further without ruining the characteristic taste of almonds.

Serve this soul-warming treat warm with Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream .

3/4 cup almond (badam) flakes

1 cup plain flour (maida)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup castor sugar
