Toast the blanched almonds and chop them finely. Beat the yogurt with the sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add melted butter and all remaining ingredients except the cream, and beat well until thoroughly mixed. Pour into a large rectangular buttered baking tray and bake in a 400 degree oven for 30 min.
