Almond cake with lemon

Preheat the oven to 180C.

Put the flour, ground almonds, sugar, salt, zest and baking powder in a spacious bowl and mix.

In another bowl mix half of the milk, vanilla all the oil and the boiling water.

Pour these wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk until the lumps disappear and add the rest of the milk. You then obtain a very runny batter.

Pour the mixture into a buttered and floured baking tin or one lined with baking paper.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 180C. Sprinkle with the almonds halfway through. Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool briefly before serving. Optionally, serve it with some lemon slices.
