Recipe Summary Almond Crunch Pound Cake
This is a dense, rich cake with a candy-like topping that is easy to make. It freezes really well so you can have a great dessert on hand. Wrap well and store at room temperature up to 2 days or freeze up to 1 month. Crisp it in the oven briefly at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for that just-baked taste. Serve with whipped cream and raspberries.Ingredients | Canola Oil Pound Cake½ cup slivered almonds⅓ cup white sugar¼ cup unsalted butter1 tablespoon milk1 ½ cups all-purpose flour½ teaspoon cream of tartar½ teaspoon salt¾ cup unsalted butter, softened⅓ cup almond paste1 cup white sugar4 eggs, at room temperature1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice1 teaspoon lemon zest1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 tablespoon all-purpose flourDirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
