Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
7 tablespoons butter
1 egg yolk
10 ½ ounces almond paste
5 tablespoons butter, chilled
2 eggs
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water
12 maraschino cherries, garnish

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar in a food processor, add the 7 tablespoons butter and egg yolk. Pulse until mixture comes together as smooth dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and briefly knead the dough. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

  • Cut almond paste and butter into pieces and combine in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, and process until smooth. Mix in almond extract. Pour filling into prepared crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and filling is set. Let cool for 20 minutes, then gently loosen sides of pan and cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar with water to make a thin glaze. Spread on top of cake and garnish with cherries.

This cake was a bit of a disappointment. The almond flavor was very subtle, and the cake itself was dry and crumbly. The glaze helped a bit, but it wasn't enough to save it. I won't be making this again.
