Badam Cake, Almond Cake

The Badam Cake is a mildly-sweet treat with the delectable crunch of almonds. Made with yeast, this cake has a unique loaf-like texture, which gets even better with the almond flakes that regale every bite.



While almond by itself has a very nice and soothing flavour, we have used cardamom powder and vanilla essence to enhance the flavour further without ruining the characteristic taste of almonds.

Serve this soul-warming treat warm with Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream .

The almond cake is so delectable. The almond flakes which come with every bite is a delight to eat and nutritious too. Turned out really nice and soft.
