Almond Squares




Source of Recipe


by Laurel, from TOH


List of Ingredients




2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup cake flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour minus 2 Tablespoons)
1/2 cup melted butter
2 tsp. almond extract
1 cup sliced almonds, divided

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 inch square pan and set aside. Beat eggs thoroughly, but not thick. Beat in sugar. Gently fold in cake flour. Add melted butter and almond extract. Fold in 3/4 cup almonds (reserving 1/4 cup for decorating). Bake in a well-buttered pan until done, approximately 30 minutes. Cool and frost with Almond Butter Frosting.

Almond Butter Frosting: Beat together 2 Tablespoons butter, 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1 Tablespoon milk, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until creamy. Spread on cooled almond cake. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sliced almonds. Cut into small squares. These freeze well.
