Almond Butter Cake

This cake is a favorite of mine because it's so easy to make and so delicious!

It's a German recipe, so all the measurements are in grams. I tried using the internet to convert the measurements....some you may have to do. I should just re-measure next time I make it. :)

For the dough:

250g cream

250g sugar (about 1 1/3 c)

1 tsp vanilla

4 eggs

500g flour (about 4 to 4 1/2 c)

1 tsp baking powder

a dash of salt

For the glaze:

125g butter (about 1/2 c)

250g sugar (about 1 1/3 c)

1 tsp vanilla

4 tblsp milk

200g almonds

(grease for the cookie sheet)

Preheat the oven to 390 Fahrenheit/200 Celsius. Mix cream, sugar, vanilla and eggs together. Add the flour and stir well. Mix in baking powder and salt. Spread the dough out evenly on cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper or greased and floured well. Bake for 10 minutes. In the meantime, make the glaze by mixing softened butter with the sugar, vanilla and milk. Add the almonds and stir gently. Take the cake out and spread the glaze on top. You have to be careful not to tear up the top of the cake...I wonder if leaving the cake in longer would hinder this. Stick it back into the oven for 10 minutes. Then cool and enjoy while still warm!!!

Voilà! Bon appetit!

I just love this cake! :)
