Today is my relaxing weekend. We received a call from pravin's colleague inviting us for the lunch today. I baked this simple & delicious almond cake with sugar glazing for them today. The cake was soft, moist & dense. Anytime I bake this cake, it will be perfect & satisfied. It is fantastic when it is warm & right out of the oven. Best to be served with the tea :)
