Almond mango cake

This dual flavor cake is moist , tender loaded with almond flavor. As festive season is still on , this is perfect for Christmas .It's simple, but absolutely delicious and especially great alongside a cup of coffee or tea. If you're almond obsessed , you'll love it. I warmed up few teaspoons of mango jam and added that to the batter . Just swirl it with skewer and bake it to a beautiful golden almond mango flavored cake. 

                    
                              
Sprinkle few slivered almonds or almond flakes on top . I used Leifheit gourmet cutterto get perfect flakes.
