  3. Powder them coarse ie almond meal, measure 1/3 cup of it for this recipe and add 1/4 cup sugar, again pulse few more minutes to get good almond flour.
  4. Sift them using medium hole sieve plate (not the tiny one) and that's it, perfect flour is ready.

Recipe Notes
  1. You can use single 8 or 9 inch cake pan with 3 inch height (manually increase height of your cake pan using parchment paper but baking time increases.)
  2. Or make 3/4 th of the recipe for one 2 inch height cake pan.
  3. For nuts free recipe do replace 1/3 cup almond meal with 1/3 cup milk powder or Rava /Sooji (soaked in milk for 5 minutes before use) and use 1 cup sugar for the recipe).
  4. I have experimented with milk powder and below picture is the outcome of it.
