Recipe Introduction
This Scandinavian Almond Cake recipe was shared with me from my husband's cousin whose mom was of Swedish ancestory. It is not called a pound cake but is very much the same consistancy. The cake is positively out of this world. She and I both use the 10"x4-1/2" loaf pan.
Spray a 10"X4-1/2" loaf pan or a Rehrukenform halfround loaf pan with cooking spray.
Beat well:
1-1/4 C. sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 tsp. pure almond extract
2/3 C. milk
Add:
2/3 C. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Add:
1 stick melted margarine [MUST be margarine]
Mix well.
Bake at 350? for 40 - 50 minutes. Edges must be golden brown. Cool pan before removing. Cake will break if removed too soon. Sprinkle with confectionary sugar.
VARIATION: Before pouring batter into the pan, sprinkle sliced almonds on the bottom of the pan.
