Preparation of upper layer

  • Take 15-20 almonds & with the help of a knife, divide them into 2 pieces by cutting them from their joint. Keep aside.
  • Take a cake tin and place it on a butter paper.
  • With the help of a pencil, mark on the butter paper giving it a shape of tin.
  • Cut the butter paper from the marked line.
  • Grease tin with oil and place butter paper in it. Then grease the butter paper also.
  • Start arranging divided almonds over the butter paper with white side downwards.
  • As we are making this cake for coming Eid, so making a cresent shape. You can give any shape of your choice. Keep aside.

Making of cake batter.

  • In a bowl sieve all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • In a blender, add almonds and sugar & make a powder out of it.
  • Transfer almonds-sugar powder to bowl.
  • Add milk powder and mix.
  • Add oil, curd & milk in the bowl.
  • Add almond essence. If you don't have almond essence, add vanilla essence.
  • Mix using cut fold method. Don't overdo.

Making of cake

  • Transfer cake batter in the tin carefully so that the arranged almonds don't get disturbed.
  • Tap the tin for releasing air bubbles,if any.
  • Bake @180°C for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven.
  • Bring the cake out of oven once it is done and passes the toothpick test.
  • Once cool, invert the cake, carefully remove the butter paper & enjoy by cutting into slices.

Notes

  1. You can keep this cake simple by not making any upper layer
  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.
