Swedish Almond Cake

By 1For_Him

*note* I used homemade vanilla sugar in this recipe. You could use regular, and add vanilla extract or half a vanilla bean, scraped.

Ingredients

• 1 cup vanilla sugar
• 1 lemon, zested
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 Tbsp sliced almonds
• 1 Tbsp coarse sugar (pearl sugar)

Preparation

Step 1

In mixer, blend vanilla sugar with zest from one lemon. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add in salt and almond extract. Mix in the flour and melted butter.

Pour batter into a greased and floured 9 inch cake pan. Sprinkle coarse sugar and almonds on top.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes. Remove from oven, cool several minutes before turning out of pan.
Enjoy warm or room temperature!
