I couldn't find a good recipe on this site for an almond pound cake. I found this one elsewhere and it appears to be relatively simple. I look forward to trying it and thought I'd share it. Ingredients:
cake |
1 cup of butter |
2 cups of sugar |
5 eggs |
2 tablespoons of almond extract |
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract |
2 cups of flour |
glaze: (optional; or sprinkle with desired amount of confectioner's sugar) |
4 tablespoons of butter |
2 cups of confectioner's sugar |
2 tablespoons of milk |
1/4 teaspoon of almond extract or 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar.
2. Add eggs; beating each separately before adding.
3. Add almond and vanilla extracts and flour.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes in Bundt pan or 2 small loaf pans.
5. Remove from pan and allow to cool completely.
6. Melt butter in a saucepan or microwave.
7. Place powdered sugar into a medium size bowl.
8. Add the melted butter to the powdered sugar.
9. Add milk.
10. Add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract or 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
11. Beat until smooth and creamy, adding a little more milk if necessary.
12. Drizzle over cake.
