This loaf has a nice combination of almond and orange flavour. I sprinkled some flaked almonds on top for crunch.
Love this type of cake with my evening tea. And believe it or not I just had one slice. Not telling how thick though.
I though these bakingcups were adorable so I had to buy them. I divided the batter into two of these.

3 large eggs
2 oz ground almonds
1 tsp bakingpowder

1 oz plain yoghurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 oz flaked almonds
Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease a loaf tin with butter and dust with flour.
Cream butter, sugar and orange peel in a kitchen aid with paddle attatchment or
with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at the time.
Whisk well after each addition.
Whisk together ground almonds, flour, salt and bakingpowder in a bowl.
