I started by adding butter into a bowl. I mixing it well until it was completely soft and melted. Then I slowly added sugar powder. I kept mixing it. So that it combined perfectly. It turned into a smooth mixture.

Step 2!

After that I added the eggs. I mixed properly. I mixed until everything is well combined. Since I did not have an electric machine. I used a hand whisk. I mixed the batter very carefully. This helped me get a smooth and perfect mixture. It is with a great texture.

Step 3!

So guys I add vanilla essence. I mixed it. Then I put in almond powder. It make the cake rich and tasty. The smell of vanilla is really lovely. It made the mixture better. I mix the ingredients well. Until the batter become smooth and nicely blended.

Step 5!

Step 6!

I boiled water in a pan beforehand. Then I placed a stand in it. Guys I carefully put the batter filled mould on top of it. After that I covered it with a lid. I allowed it to steam for around 30 to 40 minutes. Until it was perfectly cooked.

Step 7!

Guys I checked the cake by inserting a toothpick inside it. It came out clean guys. It confirmed that the cake is perfectly cooked. Then took it out of the mould. I allowed it to cool. It is about for ten to fifteen minutes guys. When it had cooled completely. I placed it on a plate. I gently removed the baking paper.

Step 8!

Then I prepared the glaze for the dry cake. I add six tablespoons of jam. I added it into a pan. Then I added six tablespoons of water. I cooked it on low heat. I let it simmer until the jam melted properly and formed a smooth glaze.

Step 9!

During the preparation of the glaze. I chopped almonds and pistachios into small pieces. After the glaze was ready. I transferred a little amount into a bowl. Then I added the chopped nuts and mixed them well. I kept the mixture aside. So it could cool down a bit before using it.

Step 10!

I used the leftover glaze to coat the cake. I applied it all over the cake very nicely and evenly. The glaze give the cake a beautiful shine. It also enhanced its taste. It making it more delicious and attractive.
