Mandelkuchen Recipes

MANDELKUCHEN

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients in a bowl. Then add flour and baking powder and stir until it makes a smooth dough.
• Spread the dough onto a LARGE baking sheet, put in the oven at 180 degrees and bake for approximately 10 minute until the dough has just set -- should still be quite pale, just starting to brown.
• In the meantime, prepare the topping. Melt the butter, stir in the sugar and milk. Once this has mixed together, add the almonds and stir to mix well. Spread over the partially baked dough and return to the oven until the topping is brown and crispy, approximately 20 minute
• Cut into slices or squares and serve warm.

GRANDMA'S ALMOND CAKE (OMAS MANDELKUCHEN)

Steps:

• In a bowl cream the eggs with the sugar.
• In a seperate bowl mix the flour with the baking powder.
• Add some flour/baking powder to the egg mixture and combine, then add some of the cream and continue that way, alternating between the two, mix until you have a smooth dough.
• Spread the dough onto a greased or baking paper lined oven tray (this is just the standard tray that comes with your oven, the one that fits directly into it, it doesn't have to be deep).
• Bake in a pre-heated oven (200°C/400°F/Gas 6) for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile mix the melted butter, almonds, milk and sugar.
• Remove the cake from the oven and evenly brush with the almond butter mixture.
• Place back in the oven and continue to bake at the same temperature for another 15 minutes.
• Allow to cool and cut into slices.
