Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ⅝ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 pinch salt
¾ cup lukewarm milk
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons butter
1 ½ tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk
⅝ cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon honey
1 ½ cups milk
⅓ cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ tablespoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Combine flour, yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, 3/4 cup milk, and 3 tablespoons butter or margarine. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 15 to 20 minutes. Place in a well greased bowl, and cover. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled.
  • Punch down the dough. Roll out to a 1/2 inch thickness. Spread into a greased 8 inch square baking pan. Cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter or margarine and confectioner's sugar in a saucepan. Add almonds and 1 tablespoon milk. Remove from heat, and stir in honey. Spread evenly and carefully onto the dough. Allow dough to continue to rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crust turns golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in a little milk. Combine 1 1/2 cups milk, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon sugar inn the top of a double boiler. Heat while stirring until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add in beaten egg, and keep stirring for about 2 more minutes, or until thick. Remove from heat, and stir in extract. Chill, covered, in refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Beat the whipping cream with the cream of tartar until stiff. Fold into the chilled pudding.
  • Cut the cooled almond crust bread into 1 1/4 x 2 inch rectangles. Slice each horizontally into halves. Fill with pudding mixture. Chill, and serve cold.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter or oil to the batter next time.

I had some trouble getting the custard filling to set properly. I think I may have overcooked it. Otherwise, the cake was delicious.
