Cooking Steps:

Toast nuts in a 9 inch pan in a 200coven until golden about 10 to 12 minutes.

Whizz the nuts in a food processor or blender to grind finely.

Beat the butter and granulated sugar with a mixer until creamy.

Beat in eggs, vanilla, and almond. Blend flour, baking powder, nuts; add alternately to batter with milk, blending well.

Pour into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Bake in a 175c oven until top springs back when touched, about 40 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on rack.

Invert on serving plate and let it cool completely.

Cut into 2 layers. Spread cream on bottom layer; set top layer in place. Arrange fruit on cake; dust with powdered sugar.
