Linhs Birthday.
I wanted to try Nigella's Cherry and Almond cake and I had found the perfect time. It was Linh's birthday so I needed to make her a cake AND I had ground and flaked almonds left over from a Chicken Mughlai so it wouldn't be too pricey. The cake was great and was gobbled up by the guests within minutes.
Here is the recipe. Thanks Nigella!
140g butter 170g caster sugar 170g self raising flour 60g ground almonds 110g glacé cherries 2 eggs a little milk Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy, then beat in eggs, one at a time. Fold in flour, almonds and cherries (halved or quartered, as you prefer). Stir in a little milk if mixture seems dry. Bake in a loaf tin for 75 - 90 minutes at Gas 2 / 150ºC
I sprinkled flaked almonds on top of mine.
Happy Birthday Linh....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4SLSlSmW74
