ALMOND BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Combine eggs, extract and 1/4 of the sour cream in a small bowl.
• Cut butter into chunks.
• Put remaining sour cream in another small bowl.
• allow all ingredients to come to room temperature while you prepare a 9" springform pan, line bottom with parchment, grease and flour.
• You can use a 9x2" round pan as well, but it will be a bit more difficult to unmold the cake.
• Toast almonds in a 350 degree F oven for 7-8 minutes, cool then grind fine, (I use a bag and rolling pin)-- if using dry measuring cups be sure to grind first then measure.

• Scrape the bowl one last time and give it a couple pulses.

• Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 10 minutes, remove sides of pan and allow to cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.
• Cake can be sliced and filled with chocolate ganache and/or frosted with any butter cream.

• If the cake is not browned enough and the toothpick comes out too wet, put the cake back in the oven and check it again in another 10 minutes.
• When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool on a heatproof counter for at least 30 minutes.
• Cut the cake into small wedges and serve with fresh fruit.
• This cake will stay fresh for about a week and will freeze indefinitely.
• Wrap it tightly in foil, or in a plastic bag you can seal with a zip or tie.
