Directions

  1. Heat the oven to / fan ovens/gas
  2. Grease a cm wide loose bottomed or spring form cake tin, and line the base with baking paper.
  3. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time and then beat in the sour cream. The mixture may look as though it is curdling but don't panic as the next stage will bring it back to a creamier texture. Stir in the almonds, flour, mixed spice and baking powder, and you should have a thick cake batter.
