Swedish Almond Cake Recipe

This well-loved traditional Swedish cake makes the perfect dessert.

1 ¼ C granulated sugar
1 egg
1 ½ tsp almond extract (I tend to put in more, depends on how "Almondy" you want the cake)
2/3 C milk (whole)
1 ¼ C cake flour
½ tsp baking powder 
1 Stick of butter

Beat together sugar, egg, almond extract and milk . Add flour, baking powder
and add to mixture. Fold in melted butter and blend until smooth.

Prepare the pan by wiping lightly with oil or butter and dust with flour.

Bake at 350F  45 Minutes
(Toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean and cake should be brown around the edges)

My mom and I like it with a butter almond glaze.
2 tablespoons of butter
heat in a pan, melt. Stir in sugar (1/4--1/3 C to taste) and then add 2 tsp almond extract.
Pour over cake once de-panned but cake should be still hot.

Use the  Classic Almond Cake Pan...
For a deliciously tasty idea...  Substitute 1½ tsp Pure Cardamom Extract for the almond.
