    Swedish Almond Coffee Cake


    Source of Recipe


    internet

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups flour
    2 cups sugar
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 stick unsalted butter
    2 eggs
    1 tablespoon almond extract
    1 cup milk

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8- by 4 1/2-inch loaf pans and set aside.

    Combine dry ingredients in large mixing bowl. Cut in 1 stick of butter until fine crumbs are formed. Remove 1/2 cup crumbs and set aside.

    Beat 2 eggs in small bowl and add almond extract and milk. Make well in center of dry ingredients and egg mixture. Mix until dry ingredients are wet. Do not over beat. Spread batter into prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle reserved crumbs on top. Bake 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.

    Variation ideas: Try making it in a 10-inch Springform pan (timing for baking might be slightly different), and adding a simple glaze to drizzle on the top after baking: 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, 1 to 2 tablespoons milk; drizzle on lightly. You can also add 1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds to the crumb topping before baking.
