Ingredients
Tea cake
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup All-prpose flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter, 4 tablespoons
- 1 tsp. almond extract
Frosting
- 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp. heavy cream
- 2 tbsp. soft butter
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325° for a glass plate or to 350° for a metal plate.
- Apply a light coating of butter to the insides of the pie plate, then add 1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar. Gently turn the plate allowing the sugar to stick to the butter coating both the bottom and sides of the plate. Discard any excess sugar.
- Mix the eggs, sugar, flour, and almond extract in a medium-sized bowl by hand. Then, slowly add the melted butter while beating to temper the eggs so they don't get cooked.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate and place into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cake is a light golden brown. Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool.
- While the cake is baking, mix the frosting by combining the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. A hand mixer works well for this.
- Spread the frosting evenly onto the warm cake then sprinkle with the sliced almonds.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- The cake is best eaten the day of baking but it can be covered and kept at room temperature for up to 3 days. Be sure that the cake has completely cooled to room temperature before covering.
- Individual slices can be tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen for up to 3 months. Then, it is best to let the slices thaw overnight in your refrigerator. If you are in a big hurry, thaw them in the microwave on low power like 50% until they are thawed enough to eat.
