This is a favorite in our house. It's so buttery and moist. It's quite a rich cake actually. It's something that I don't mind making year round. It's pretty quick and easy to do. Perfect if you have someone coming over for tea!
Boterkoek ~ Dutch Butter Cake
1 1/2 cups Sugar
2 Cups Sugar
3 Cups Flour
2 Tsp Baking Powder
2 Eggs
1- 1 1/2 Tsp Almond Extract
1 Egg White
Sliced Almonds
In a large mixing bowl, add sugar butter and eggs.
Blend until well creamed. Add in Almond Extract. and blend until it's mixed in.
A bit at a time, add in your Flour and Baking Powder.
Mix until Flour is blended.
It will form a soft dough.
Divide dough in half and press into two 9 inch pie tins. This time I did one pie tin and 10 tart tins for my kids to bring in lunches. Take an Egg White and beat it some with a fork, then brush it over the tops of the pies. This will stick the Almonds to the tops and give it a bit of a shiny crust.
Sprinkle sliced almonds over the tops of the pies. You could arrange the Almonds if you want to take the time. They look quite pretty.
Bake 350*F for 30 minutes until the edge is the pie is golden. Remove from oven and set on cooling racks.
This is the first time I've baked it in the tart tins. I think they came out quite nicely. The tart sized ones had a bake time of 20 minutes.
