There are people, and then there are angels who walk among us. Beth is an angel. A former teacher who gave her time freely to our school after her retirement. She would make this wonderful cake for every new teacher, every teacher having a birthday, every student who was leaving our school and for the opening staff meeting at the beginning of the year. Very few people I have met are as giving as Beth. This melt-in-your-mouth, I-want-more cake is sure to please. Thank you Beth for bringing smiles to so many throughout the years, and thank you for freely sharing your wonderful cake recipe.

Ingredients

  • BAKING PANS: BETH WAS ADAMANT THAT A GOOD NORDIC WARE PAN SHOULD BE USED. I FOUND IT ALSO WORKS FINE WITH SILICONE.
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure almond extract
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 stick melted imperial margarine...it must be imperial margarine

How To Make beth aune's norwegian almond cake

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees for at least 45 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Use an electric mixer to combine sugar, egg, almond extract and milk. Low speed, just enough to combine, don't over mix.
  • Step 3
    Add flour, baking powder, mix a little more.
  • Step 4
    Add melted margarine, mix more until smooth and creamy but don't over mix.
  • Step 5
    Use a 6 cup Bundt pan or a Nordic Ware 6 cup Individual Bundt Cake pan. Spray baking pan with baking spray (it has the flour in it). Sprinkle some crushed, sliced almonds in the bottom of the pan(s). Pour the batter in.
  • Step 6
    Bake 45 minutes. Use a cake tester to make sure it is done. Watch it so it doesn't get over-browned. After cooling for 45 minutes, tip out and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Also wonderful served with strawberries and whipped cream.
