My second daughter inherited many wonderful traits from her paternal grandmother. Looks, intelligence, an uncanny ability to memorize. It seemed fitting to me that this recipe (one of my mother-in-laws signatures) became my nine year old’s signature recipe over the holidays. ”Number 2″ (see below) made no less than a dozen of these simple cakes to share with friends, family and neighbors.
She made it so often, she no longer needs the recipe.
Almond Cake
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 2 eggs
- slivered almonds
Mix sugar, flour, butter, almond extract, and eggs on high for 3 minutes. Pour into greased pie pan. Sprinkle with slivered almonds. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
It’s amazing that such a humble looking cake could taste so good.

Happy New Year! Easy cakes like this are the greatest
Oh my god, look at this bunch of gorgeous children you have! I’m amazed. Really.
And they’re obviously super talented also! This cake sounds amazing. The perfect thing to eat with a cup of tea or coffee!
I grew up with these cakes. My grandmother was from Sweden and brought this recipe with her. Mine calls for a little more sugar and flour and is measured with the metric system. We use a 2 deciliters of each which ends up being a cup minus 2 TBLS. They are addicting and super easy. We made 32 of these this year to hand to friends and neighbors and it seems to grow every year once people taste these.
Look at those gorgeous kids of yours! And what a simple recipe for what sounds like an amazing desert, thanks for sharing!
