Norwegian Almond Cake
|
If you enjoy almonds as much as I do, you will love this full-flavored cake, not only as a dessert but with a cup of coffee for breakfast.
You can top a slice with berries and ice cream for an after-dinner delight. And it is is also easy to take along to friends who will be pleased when you bring it for your next get-together.

Coat the pan with butter or coconut oil and lightly dust with flour - shake off excess. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 40-45 minutes in a preheated oven.
Cool before removing from pan. Sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar and serve.
