Norwegian Almond Cake

As a Norwegian American, I love introducing people to Norwegian recipes (especially the sweets!)

This recipe is so easy, light, and fluffy. It’s a great one to bring to a party or to make as a gift or as a rainy day treat for your family♥️

- 1 1/4 cup flour

- 1 cup sugar

- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom

- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- 1 1/2 tsp almond extract

- 2/3 cup whole milk

- 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted salted butter

♥️toppings♥️

🍴How to make it 🍴

- preheat oven to 350F & grease a 9x5 bread pan

- combine sugar, egg, whole milk, and almond extract until creamy/smooth

- then add in flour, baking powder, cardamom, and butter. mix throughly until dough forms.

- pour and smoothie mixture into the greased pan. Top with almond slivers.

- bake for 30-45mins. Check on the loaf at 30mins. When done, bread it will rise and develop cracks on the top.

- take out of the oven and let cool. generally transfer loaf to a plate and slide. top slices with whipped cream and fruit of your choosing.
