Add the Butter and Sugar Mixture into the flour and start mixing them.
Add in 3 eggs in a bowl. Beat them using a hand blender so that they foam up well. Add the foamed egg into the batter mixture.
Now mix them all slowly. The dough must be a sticky but a bit runny consistency. If required add some warm milk, to get this consistency.

Notes
You can also soak almonds in water for 15 minutes. Then remove the skin. Again Dry roast them and then blend them into a powder.
Do not omit the step of sifting the flour as it would mix well and to avoid any lumps.
Baking time differs from different ovens. Check your usermanual before you start baking.
My cake was Moderately sweet. You can adjust the sweetness as per your taste requirements.
Do not make the cake batter too watery as it would affect the texture of the cake.
As soon as the cake batter is ready it must be placed in oven so preheat the oven parallely when the cake batter is getting ready.
