Late summer cake - Sensommarkaka

LATE SUMMER CAKE
Sensommarkaka

Autumn’s finest plums are hidden under the almond cover of this delicious, easy-baked cake.

1 cake, 16 pieces

2½ oz butter or margarine
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
only a few drops bitter almond oil
2 cups flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
¾ cup milk
6 plums, approx 8 oz

Almond cover:
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 ¾ oz butter or margarine
1/3 cup flaked almonds


Stir fat and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and bitter almond oil. Mix flour, baking powder and vanilla sugar and add this to the batter, alternating with the milk. Pit the plums and cut them in pieces, then add them to the batter. Pour in a greased, breaded, oven-proof dish, approx 9 x 9 inches.

Mix sugar and flour for the almond cover and then chop it with the fat until crumbly. Add the flaked almonds. Spread this mixture out over the surface and bake in the middle of the oven at 350 to 390F for about 30 minutes or until the cake is done. Allow to cool slightly and cut in squares. Serve lukewarm or cold with a dab of whipped cream.

Enjoy!
