Ingredients

1 1/3 cups granulated sugar

3/4 cup almond paste (not marzipan)

10 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature

6 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and position the rack to the center of the oven. Line the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan with a round of parchment paper, or butter the pan and dust it lightly with flour, tapping out any excess.

2. With an electric mixer, beat together the sugar and almond paste until the paste is finely broken up (the sugar crystals helps break the paste into pieces-so don't add the butter yet!)

3. Now add the butter and beat for a few minutes until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, or a measuring cup with a spout, stir together the eggs with a fork then dribble it into the batter as you beat. Add the vanilla.

4. Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt with a whisk. Stir the dry ingredients into the batter until just incorporated.

5. Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may take a but longer due to the variation in different brands of almond paste.

Cool the cake on a rack before serving. This cake is extremely moist and will keep well for up to a week if well-wrapped.

This sounds like a Swedish cake that I had. It was baked in a tart pan. I had never made it because I did not have the pan. Now I can try this and I will bet it is the same thing. Thanks for the recipe. -Lori

I made this and it was a hit. If you like almond paste it is addicting. I should have used two 9 inch round cake pans because mine looked like a big muffin, and I did not put all the batter in the pan. It flattened when it cooled, but it was tough to get out of the pan. We did eat every crumb.-Lori
