Scandinavian Almond Cake

December 6, 2020 by Kayley Leave a Comment

Scandinavian Almond Cake

I was served this cake at a lovely winter supper a few nights ago and thought it was just the most perfect holiday dessert.

Dense and soft, fragrant and textural, with an unabashedly present hit of almond flavor.

As simple and to the point as it looks, it’s even easier to make. Just a few ingredients. The pan is the trickiest part.

I was lucky enough to go home with one, but if you’re lacking an almond cake loaf pan, Amazon carries them.

This cake is fun to drizzle glaze over, but to be honest, I prefer eating it with just a dusting of powdered sugar .

Whipped cream and berries make an ideal topping, as well.
