Ingredients

6 tbsp. butter

1/2 lb. blanched and crushed almonds

6 tbsp. fine sugar

2 eggs

6 tbsp. sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup of cake flour

1/4 tsp of salt

1 tsp of vanilla

1 tbsp of Kirsch or Cointreau (orange is my favorite)

Directions

Crush the almonds into a powder.

Combine the almond powder with the first 6 tbsp of sugar and the two eggs.

Beat the mixture very well with a whip.

Add the second 6 tbsp. of sugar and the last egg and continue beating the mixture until it is light and fluffy.

Put the butter into a warm bowl and work with a wooden spoon until it is creamy.

Cut and fold the butter into the almond mixture.

Sift the cake flour and the salt and fold into the mixture.

Add the chosen flavoring to the batter.

Pout the batter into an 8 or 9 inch shallow cake pan that has been lined with parchment paper and buttered.

Bake in slow 300 degree oven for 35-40 minutes.

Turn the cake out on a rack to cool.

Remove the paper and serve the cake with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Very nice twist with Cointreau - I think it would work the best! I have a similar recipe, without the orange liquor - I will try your version from now on!

I absolutely love this cake! It's one of my favorite cakes, it is easy, tasty and does not need icing.

Wow. I'm going to make this after I go feed Ralph (my pet mosquito). Maybe I should make it first. He might like it too. L.
