Easy Almond Cake Recipe.

Before I made this easy almond cake recipe, I’ve always wondered how to bake properly. As every time I try to bake the cake turned up not so good. So I haven’t baked for so long. My style of cooking is very flexible unlike making a cake where the measurement has to be precise. Until one day I saw 5 different colours of ramekins that catches my eyes at the shop and I can help but buy a set of each colour. Hm..hm…..I have to admit that window shopping is never a good idea for me 🙁 .

Anyhow, before I’m getting in trouble for spending money on kitchenware that I haven’t even had a plan for it, I’d better do something about it. So here we go….I came up with easy recipe that goes in my new ramekins.
