Title: Bolo Podre / Rotten Cake [Ttop]
Categories: Portugese Cake
Yield: 8 Servings

350	g	Flour, wholemeal [12oz]
1 1/2	ts	Baking powder
300	ml	Olive oil [1/2 pint]
300	ml	Honey, dark [1/2 pint]
4		Eggs
3	tb	Brandy [or equivalent.]
1/2		Coffeespoon Cloves, ground
1	tb	Cinnamon
1		Handful of Almonds, peeled, for decoration.

Mix all ingredients except the flour and the almonds, and beat until it thickens. Using an electric mixer saved effort. Gradually add the flour and baking powder. Beat again. Leave to rest until the following day.

Pour the mixture into a large, well-buttered cake tin [20 to 22.5cm/8-10inch] in diameter or use two smaller tins. Decorate the top with the almonds and bake at 180^C/350^F for 45 minutes or until a cake-tester comes out clean.
