2. Number of almonds needed for upper layer may vary depending upon the size of your cake tin & the design you are planning to make.
3. As already said, butter paper is necessary if you are making upside down cake. Without butter paper, almonds may stick to the bottom, hence damaging the look of your cake.
4. If you already have almond flour then no need to powder them while making batter. But do use powdered sugar in that case.
5. Toothpick test stands for the process whereby you can check whether your cake is properly baked or not. Insert the toothpick in cake and if it comes out clean, your cake is properly baked. Otherwise you need to give more time to cake in oven.
6. If your cake is getting brown faster but it is still under baked from inside, you can cover the cake tin with aluminium foil and carry on with baking.
