Instructions
Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas
Grease and line a 2lb/900g loaf tin with a long strip of baking parchment. To make the loaf cake batter, beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, flour, almonds, baking powder and milk until smooth.
Pour into the tin and bake for 45-50 mins until golden, risen and a skewer poked in the centre comes out clean.
As soon as the cake has come out of the oven, prick it all over with a skewer.
Mix together the cordial and extra sugar, then pour all over the cake. Cool in the tin, then carefully lift out to slice.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Cake works really well with Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Solera Cream Sherry. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
