Scandinavian Almond Cake

This sweet traditional Scandinavian food can be served for dessert or with brunch. The aroma of roasted almonds will fill your kitchen with a pleasant aroma.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 c. almond slices
• 1 1/4 c. sugar
• 1 large egg
• c. milk
• 1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
• 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. developer powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. butter or margarine
• Whipped cream
• Fresh fruit

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch quiche pan or fluted cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle almonds at the bottom of the pan.
2. In a medium bowl, with a mixer at medium speed, shake the sugar, eggs, milk, and almond extract until smooth, rub the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and melted butter until they are combined.
3. Pour the mixture into the pan that has been prepared. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the toothpicks inserted in the center of the cake come out clean. Refrigerate completely in a baking sheet on a wire rack. Cakes can be stored at room temperature, well wrapped, up to 3 days. To serve, place the almond side cake on a serving plate. Serve with whipped cream and fruit, if desired.
