not an earth shattering recipe but i could not see anything similar here. Really quick and easy and does not need icing IMO.
100g almonds (i leave the skin on)
250g sugar
200g butter, chopped
150g self raising flour
50g coconut
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice (optional, i guess)
4 eggs
100g milk
grind almonds and sugar for 1min on speed 9 or 10.
add remaining ingredients (except for eggs) and combine on speed 5.
add eggs one at a time through the lid hole, mix until combined.
pour into square cake pan (about 20cm pan). the mix might seem to be a little runny but it's fine!
cook on 180' for about 50min.
should make a lovely moist cake.

i also made a variation on this yesterday-
i added three large passionfruit (they were quite large, so i'd suggest four if they were regular sized). i pressed the pulp of two of the passionfruit through a sieve, and put the entire pulp of the remaining passionfruit in.
i reduced the milk to 70g.
and reduced the suger to 200g.
skipped the mixed spice and halved the cinnamon
for some reason it took about 1hour 15min to cook!! not sure why. but it was really nice.

I like the idea of leaving the almond skins on. ;D

I love the sound of this cake - anything with nuts is a winner, thanks!

Just noticed your new avatar Amanda - I'd recognise you even with that cup stuck to your face ;D ;D :-* :-*

Made this to take to work, really quick, easy and yummy. I only use 3 eggs and reduce sugar, still yummy.

Made this tonight, I just put them in the oven and re-read the recipe, realised that I forgot to put the milk in. Quickly return it to the bowl and mixed with milk. In the oven now...
