Just back from a long holiday, and after so much eating and indulging, I wanted to bake something healthy and that would satisfy my hunger pangs. I had a pack of custard powder  along with some ground almonds. A quick Google search landed me with a nice and easy custard marble cake recipe which can be put together in less than 15 minutes, if you have all the ingredients ready. However, I felt a little lazy to separate the batter and so changed the recipe to make it a Custard Almond cake. The result was a soft and delicious crusty tea time cake which can be relished without any guilt! You could also swap the whole wheat flour out for a gluten-free variety.
