🍴 Ingredients (750 g Cake) 👩‍🍳 Method

1. Prep
   Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease and line a 9–10 inch round or loaf tin.
2. Mix wet ingredients
   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the curd, milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Add almond components
   Add the almond powder and chopped almonds to the bowl and fold gently.
4. Add dry ingredients
   Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add this dry mix to the wet mixture and fold until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
5. Pour & bake
   Transfer the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top.
   Bake at 160°C for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool
   Let the cake cool in the tin for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
