Almond cake without eggs

I did not have any eggs at home but lots of almonds so I decided to prepare a new cake! The taste was great, although it was not as soft as a cake-with-eggs can be :)

Persons: 6
Preparation time: 20 min
Cook time: 30 min

Ingredients:
200 gr all purpose flour
200 gr sugar
3/4 cup whole milk
1 cup almonds 
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:
  1. Place the almonds in a bowl and with a food processor mix them until finely ground. 
  2. Preheat the oven at 160 C (320 F).
  3. In a bowl, assemble the flour, baking powder, baking soda, the milk, the sugar, the butter, the oil and the vanilla extract with a spoon or a hand blender.
  4. Beat until well mixed
  5. Add the almond meal into the flour mixture.
  6. Grease and line the bottom of a bake dish with baking paper and pour the batter.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes clean.
  8. Decorate the top with confectioners' sugar.
