A very light cake perfect to have with a cup of freshly brewed coffee! This recipe is based on a recipe that my dear Mother passed on to me - the only difference between the 2 recipes is the addition of almond essence and slithered almonds. Ingredients:
4 ounces butter |
4 ounces sugar |
2 eggs |
1 tablespoon warm water, with a little |
almond essence, added to it |
4 ounces flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
slivered almonds |
sliced plum |
extra sugar (for sprinkling) |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar.
2. Add eggs - one at a time and beat well.
3. Add the warm water and almond essence.
4. Add sifted flour and baking powder.
5. Stir well to make a mixture that will spread evenly in 20cm diameter tin.
6. Sprinke with slithered almonds.
7. Arrange sliced plums on top.
8. Sprinkle with sugar.
9. Bake in the oven for approx 20 minutes at 160'C.
