Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 beaten egg, divided
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter, sugar and almond flavoring until fluffy. Add beaten egg, reserving 1 teaspoons.
  • Add flour, salt and baking powder. Mix until combined in a solid dough.
  • Press into parchment-lined 9-inch round baking dish.
  • Brush with remaining egg. Score crosswise in two directions, (making diamond shapes), with a fork.
  • Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes until top is golden.
  • Allow to cool before removing and cutting into 12 portions.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use unsalted butter, as salted butter can make the cake too salty.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.
