Past three days were terrible days for me  as my son swallowed a coin and we all were worried.First we took x rays to confirm it ,then doctor adviced to give more bananas and water.By God's grace it came out yesterday night and a million thanks to God almighty.

Now coming to the recipe,i was looking to make some microwave baking and referred many,at last i decided to make almond cake,then thought to add some cocoa powder to it and make choc almond cake.The result was a soft moist almond loaf cake.



Ingredients:

• Flour- 1 cup
• Almond meal/flour- 3\4 cup (see notes)

• Butter/oil- 1\2 cup(i used canola oil)
• Milk- 1\2 cup( Increase little more if needed)
• Baking powder- 1 tsp
• Baking soda- 1\2 tsp

3.Add a tsp of essence and mix well.

4.Grease oil/butter and dust flour in a microwave safe bowl(i used a loaf shaped MW plastic container).

5.Pour the cake mix to it and MW for 5 minutes at its high power.Let it stand for while and remove.Cool and demould.
