Preparation of the Ring Cake with Almond Topping
In a bowl, place room temperature whole eggs along with the sugar and mix until you obtain a light and fluffy mixture.
For a very fluffy and airy mixture, it is advisable to beat the eggs for at least ten minutes.
Gradually add the sunflower oil and milk, pouring them slowly while the beaters continue to work.
Next, add the flour a spoonful at a time, ensuring each spoonful is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Finally, add the baking powder, ensuring there are no lumps. Incorporate it thoroughly.
Butter and flour a bundt pan, pour the mixture into it, and sprinkle sliced almonds on the surface of the cake.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 340°F for about 40 minutes without opening the door. Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done.
Remove the ring cake with almond topping from the oven, let it cool, remove from the pan, place on a platter, and if desired, dust with powdered sugar, or leave it plain.
