Method
Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6.
Grease a 23 cm silicone cake tin and sprinkle with ground almonds.
Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla.
Stir in the melted, cooled butter.
Add flour; mix until smooth (it will look lumpy to begin with, keep mixing until it's smooth)
Spread the batter into the prepared tin.
Sprinkle flaked almonds on top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Allow cake to cool slightly before removing from the tin.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
This cake keeps very well for up to a week in an airtight container or plastic bag.
