Do you know whose birthday cake this is? Mine! I am 27 today. This is a Scandinavian almond cake. It is a very simple recipe: 1 1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 t almond extract
2/3 cup milk
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 cup melted butter
Beat wet ingredients, add dry, and stir in butter. Pour into greased pan into which toasted almonds have been sprinkled. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
The recipe is from Jimmy's grandfather's second wife. It came with the house. I've made it many times because it is so good!
Jimmy is treating me extremely well today. He got the kids up and fed and allowed me to sleep in. In a few minutes I am headed to the spa for a massage and haircut. I am treating myself well too. I bought all my favorite foods: organic dark chocolate, pure black licorice, blueberries and strawberries. I am really enjoying my day.
Happy belated birthday, my dear friend! I hope you guys are well!! Have you found an apartment yet?
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Denise! Glad you got the day to be pampered. I'm reminded of celebrating your birthday a couple years ago by getting ice cream before Stevie was born = ) Glad we got to catch up on the phone today.
