Swedish Almond Loaf Cake

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 ½ teaspoon almond extract
• ⅔ cup milk
• 1 ¼ cup flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ stick 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• Berries to garnish optional

Instruction

1. Beat or whisk sugar, egg, almond extract and milk together (a mixer or by hand works well).
2. Add flour and baking powder. Then add butter (and oil if you’re using both).
3. Spray pan with cooking spray or butter, etc. (be thorough- the wet sugary batter likes to stick). Pour in batter.
4. Bake at 350° F for 50 minutes (until cake tests done with toothpick). Cool for 20 minutes, then remove from pan.
5. Can be served warm or cold, preferably on a Swedish Almond Loaf Cake tray complete with Dala Horses. Okay, maybe I’m taking it too far.
