    Fairy Godmother Cake


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    3/4 cup sugar
    1/2 cup sweet butter, room temperature
    8 ounces almond paste
    3 eggs
    1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
    1/2 teaspoon almond extract
    1/c cup flour
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder

    Recipe



    Cream butter and almond paste together, and blend in sugar until evenly mixed. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Blend in Grand Marnier and almond extract. In another bowl, sift flour and baking powder together, then fold dry ingredients into the wet batter. Pour cake batter into a 9-inch greased and floured cake pan. Bake about 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees (cake should be firm on top). Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn cake out of the pan and on to a cake rack to finish cooling. The cake may be dusted with powdered sugar, or served plain with a raspberry sauce underneath. To make raspberry sauce, combine 1 quart fresh berries or 12 ounces frozen berries and 3 tablespoons of Grand Marnier. Puree in a food processor, then strain to remove seeds. Sweeten with sugar if necessary. This cake serves 8 or 9 (it's very rich).
