Almond Cake 杏仁蛋糕

Last week when I saw Fion's Almond Pound Cake recipe using dairy whipping cream, I knew that I had to try out it soon as I've some leftover whipping cream in my fridge. Moreover I was afraid that it'll turn bad if I left unused for a little longer. So, I quickly baked this Almond Cake over the weekend.  I followed Fion's recipe exactly but added an extra 2 tablespoons of almond meal in it. The cake texture was very fine and tasted really good, fragrant and soft. I couldn't resist reaching for another slice and enjoyed it with a cup of tea.
