Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

BAKING PANS: BETH WAS ADAMANT THAT A GOOD NORDIC WARE PAN SHOULD BE USED. I FOUND IT ALSO WORKS FINE WITH SILICONE.
1 1/4 c sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp pure almond extract
2/3 c whole milk
1 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 stick melted imperial margarine...it must be imperial margarine

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for at least 45 minutes.
  • 2. Use an electric mixer to combine sugar, egg, almond extract and milk. Low speed, just enough to combine, don't over mix.
  • 3. Add flour, baking powder, mix a little more.
  • 4. Add melted margarine, mix more until smooth and creamy but don't over mix.
  • 5. Use a 6 cup Bundt pan or a Nordic Ware 6 cup Individual Bundt Cake pan. Spray baking pan with baking spray (it has the flour in it). Sprinkle some crushed, sliced almonds in the bottom of the pan(s). Pour the batter in.
  • 6. Bake 45 minutes. Use a cake tester to make sure it is done. Watch it so it doesn't get over-browned. After cooling for 45 minutes, tip out and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Also wonderful served with strawberries and whipped cream.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of almond flavor, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The almond flavor is very subtle, and the cake is moist and delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe, even if you're not a fan of almonds.

This almond cake is a delightful treat! It has a moist and fluffy texture, and the almond flavor is perfectly balanced. I added a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg, and it turned out even better. I will definitely be making this cake again!
