Cake with Almonds

 

Here a variation of the cake “all 100 grams” that I prepared once with hazelnuts. Instead of hazelnuts I used here the almonds, for the rest is everything the same. The preparation of this Italian dessert is so easy and fast that you will need only 10 minutes if you use almonds already without peel but if you have at home almonds with the nutshell, you have to remove it and then you should remove also the peel. To easily remove the peel of almonds you just have to put them for 15-20 second in boiling water and the peel will be removed easily. I prepared a cake using a baking pan of 24cm of diameter and for this reason I used 200 grams of each ingredients. This cake is perfect to be served with a cup of tea or a cup of hot chocolate.

INGREDIENTS:

200g of Flour

200g of Sugar

200g of Butter

200ml of Milk

200g of Almonds

2 Eggs

PREPARATION TIME: 10 minutes

COOKING TIME: 1 hour

WINE: Moscato (White Wine)

PREPARATION

Preheat the oven at 180 degree. Cut the butter in cubes and grind the almonds to obtain a sort of flour of almonds. Place in a bowl the flour, the sugar, the grinded almonds, the pieces of butter and the eggs.

Mix them together and then add the milk. Stir until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Butter a baking pan of 24cm of diameter. Pour in the baking pan the mixture, bake at 180 degree for about 1 hour.

Check the cooking of the cake with a spaghetto. Put spaghetto in the center of the cake and when you remove it if it is dry the cake is ready.

Let the cake cool down and sprinkle with icing sugar. Place on the top some almond.

BUON APPETITO!
