Method:

 1.Sieve flour,Baking powder,Baking Soda,Salt for 5-6 times.This would make the cake lighter.

  4.Slowly combine the wet and the dry ingredients.Finally add the grated almond meal and mix well.
  5.Once this is done, pour into the baking tins,it should cover only half of the tin.The cake will rise to 3/4th after baking.For the quantity mentioned above, two tin cakes would do.
  6.Once the wet and dry ingredients and almond meal is mixed,quickly pour the mixture into the tins and put it in the oven , as the baking powder starts working once there is moisture.It will lead to a big crack on the top.So, just be quick.
 7.Bake at 180 deg centigrade for 40-45 minutes.
 8.After the cake is cooled down,cut into squares and spread Nutella in between the slices.
