Almond Snack Cake

By Addie

My oldest son was allergic to chocolate, so I had to find goodies to make without it. These treats filled the bill. In fact, my son is 47 now, so I’ve been making this recipe for a long time! With its great almond flavor, this snack cake is popular at bake sales. (Taste of Home)

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 1/4 cups sugar, divided
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and lemon-colored. Gradually add 2 cups sugar, beating until combined. Stir in the butter, flour, salt and extract.


Spread into a greased 13-inch x 9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with almonds and remaining sugar. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

This recipe is delicious, and I would definitely make it again. It does sink a bit however, which is why I gave it four stars.

I will never make this cake again when I'm home alone. I loved it waaaay tooo much. My husband only got 4 out of the 10 pieces. It's a good thing I exercise a lot! :)

This cake is excellent! I shared it with 7 others and it got rave reviews and requests for the recipe. I will definitely be making it again. The only change I made was to sprinkle half the amount of sugar called for over the top of the cake. It was great!

I htink we will like these the next time I make them. Unfortunately, I tested them at 25 minutes and got a clean pick, however after they cooled, they would not at all cooked and fell in the middle. It was dough-city from that point on. Very disappointing. I'm surprised that no one else mentioned the problem with the baking time???

Huge hit! even my fussy eating brother liked it! now that says alot!

Super-easy, and delicious! I used sanding sugar on top, rather than regular granulated for a pretty touch.

These are soooo good!!! I have also drizzled these with melted chocolate chips. Please try this snack cake. Will make over and over. Thanks

I've been making these for years and have given out the recipe many times. They are always a hit.

We love this cake! Its a simple, fast and easy recipe that my kids like helping me make and my husband likes to eat.
