Beat butter and sugar till light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time with a little self-
raising flour till you finish it all. Add some
milk, the ground almonds and almond essence to
the mixture. If the mixture is a little bit
thick add some more milk to soften it, not too
much. Grease a baking tin and pour the cake
mixture. Bake on 180c middle shelf for 1 hr 15
minutes. Test it with a small kebab stick. It
has to be clean when you take it out. Leave it
to cool. After brush the sides of the cake with
jam and cover it with flaked almonds all
around. Beat the soft cheese in a mixer with
the icing sugar, vanilla essence and almond
essence. Spread it on top of the cake and
decorate with almonds. Enjoy --)
