Fast Cinnamon Yoghurt Cake

The yoghurt in this cake gives it a gentle tang and ensure it is wonderfully light. The sweetness comes mostly from honey, and being made with vegetable oil, this cake has a deliciously soft crumb. The flaked almonds give a nice crunch to the topping but if you are not an nut lover than either you can totally skip the topping part or instead of almond topping any crumble topping would also go well.
