Cake!

[taiba]

My birthday is tomorrow, but we're having dinner with my husband's family tonight. So I baked a cake! It is almond cake, which I got from The Cake Bible.

I was extremely thankful for my mother-in-law lending me her hand mixer. It made this a lot easier. I also found that the time guideline of 50-60min in the oven was off by about half an hour.

Thanks so much! I'm new to cake baking, so advice is good! =D

I find cakes with no flour, only almond meal, always take slightly longer than I thought, but usually not 30 min.

Almonds are in lots of curries!

This one had both, but the flour was wholegrain stuff so I'm not sure how that would have affected it...

Happy birthday!

I should get some almond meal for cake/cupcakes. I had forgotten it existed. HMM. (I wonder if it's even easily accessible here...)
