It's very interesting to read all the comments. I can't wait to try it out myself. Just one little question- I'm thinking of baking this batter in mini cupcake cases...obviously suitably reducing the baking time. What do you think? Any suggestions?

As such the centre of your cake maybe under baked while the exterior may turn dry and hard. <br /><br />Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-36639908981653040762014-12-01T14:53:57.626+08:002014-12-01T14:53:57.626+08:00Hello,

My batter was similar to butter cake batter. I'm not sure what happened. Maybe just a little longer in the mixer, and it would've worked out. I also might have let my butter get too warm so it couldn't aerate properly when I mixed the batter. It was over 100 degrees outside the day I made this cake.Juliehttp://onewallkitchen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-71592635426535344542014-05-18T15:02:57.801+08:002014-05-18T15:02:57.801+08:00Hi Julie, sorry to hear that the cake didn't t...Hi Julie, sorry to hear that the cake didn't turn out well. This cake will not rise much, the finished batter should be similar to a butter cake, thick and spoonable. You can use the classic way of making a butter cake to prepare the batter, ie cream the butter and sugar and then add the eggs one at a time, followed by the milk and vanilla extract, then add in the flour and ground almonds.

Unfortunately, it didn't rise very much--I used 9-inch pans, but even then, I expected the layers to be at least an inch tall, but they're far less. I think the problem might be with not beating the batter enough. The recipe says to beat the batter until it's light and fluffy, but how light and fluffy should it be? It was lighter and fluffier than regular cake batter, but I wasn't sure if I should go on. I know every person will have to beat their batter for different lengths of time, but for reference, can you tell us how long you beat your batter? And should the texture be like whipped cream or angel food cake batter, or is if all right if it's heavier? I haven't taken the cakes out of the pans yet, but I almost don't want to because I'm afraid I wasted all those ingredients. I wish I'd read comments before I tried the recipe.Juliehttp://onewallkitchen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-54664465223062631462014-03-25T07:16:24.180+08:002014-03-25T07:16:24.180+08:00Hi, thanks for sharing your baking experience, wha...Hi, thanks for sharing your baking experience, what a great idea to enhance the flavour further with almond essence!
