Doug has been keeping his tradition of making this delicious
Almond Butter Cake
for Christmas Dinners for at least the past ten years.
I am not sure where the recipe originated, but in our family it has become "his" recipe.
He is making this cake to take to our Christmas Dinner Fellowship at church tomorrow.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose white flour
Topping
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 4 ounces sliced almonds, about 3/4 cup
Get into the holiday mood, and gather the ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Measure the sugar and softened butter and add to mixing bowl.
Mix until smooth.
Add the eggs and cream together until mixture is all the same color.
Add the salt, almond extract, vanilla extract, and flour.
Keep mixing until the batter is smooth.
Camden is making a Christmas card while his brother, Aiden,
is helping Grandpa make the cake.
Spoon the batter into two prepared 9-inch cake pans,
sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Then sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar evenly over the batter.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the batter.
Bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees .
The cake should be light brown on top,
and when a toothpick is inserted, it comes out clean.
Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into wedges.
This cake will stay fresh for about a week if it lasts that long.
Merry Christmas!
Peggy this blog is for you!
