- Into this bowl, add in the almond flour and dry fruits. Mix well.
- Now, take another big bowl and add into it the curdled milk. To this add the powdered sugar, oil, salted butter, lemon and orange zest, vanilla essence and blueberry crush. Stir till completely combined.
- Next add the dry ingredients into this mixture and stir properly. Add milk to adjust the batter consistency. It should not be too thick.
- Grease and dust and a round cake mould. Pour in the batter and tap to release the air bubbles.
- Now arrange the almond halves in a circle all around the top of the cake batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven for about 40-45 mins. at 170 deg.C.
- Depending on your individual oven settings, check after half an hour or so. The cake is done when a cake skewer inserted comes out clean maybe with a few crumbs.
- Cool and cut into pieces and serve.
