Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup margarine (can use butter - would be wonderful!)
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup whole almonds

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar together, till light and fluffy.
  • Beat eggs and add 3/4 of them to the mix. Reserve the rest till the end of prep.
  • Add the almond extract
  • Mix together the flour, cinnamon and baking powder.
  • Blend with the mix, then knead until the dough holds together like a ball, (no longer crumbly)
  • press into an 8x8 pan - or a heart-shaped pan!
  • Decorate with the whole almonds, and then use the rest of the egg by adding a tsp. of water and then brushing the mixture on top of the cake. This will give it a nice shine.
  • Bake at 350F for 50 - 60 minutes, until a tester in the center comes out dry.
