A Good Little Cake~

While perusing FWS..I came upon a photo of a cake that wet my appetite..I marched upstairs that day and made it:)

La Recette:

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup cold butter

1 egg, beaten
1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
FILLING:
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup raspberry jam
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Directions:
1) In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Remove 1 cup and set aside. To remaining crumbs, add baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add sour cream, egg and almond extract; mix well. Spread in the bottom and 2 in. up the sides of a greased 9-in. springform pan.

3) Bake at 350 degrees F for 55-60 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; remove sides from pan. Dust top with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 8 servings.


The power of her photo..was just irresistible~
I had to see if it could be a keeper here..It's the kind of dessert I like to make.



Thanks  One Perfect Bite~
I would say this cake is more than just ok:) I added more almond extract and next time I would add more jam.I used Strawberry Jam 'cause that's what I had on hand~

It's un bon petit gâteau~


I loved the way it sat on one of my mom's dessert plates..Sometimes..that's all it takes for me.
