ALMOND CAKE OR "TORTA DE ALMENDRA"
This recipe was given to me by a dear friend. I tweaked it a bit to my liking and am posting it for Carol since she requested it : ) Hope you like it Carol. It is not a sweet cake and you can simply dust it with powdered sugar, or use the liquor and sugar combo listed or you can drizzle a powdered sugar and almond extract glaze over it. Its a matter of taste.

Steps:
- Spray an 8x8 in square baking pan or a 9 in round baking pan with non stick cooking spray
- In a large bowl on low speed beat all cake ingredients for about 30 seconds, then beat on high speed 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour cake batter into spray pan and sprinkle with the sliced or slivered almonds. Then bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven
- If using the sugar and liquor topping, sprinkle cake immediately with sugar and then drizzle on the liquor. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before removing from pan. If using the dusting of powdered sugar or the glaze, allow to cool for 15 minutes and then remove from pan and add your topping.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 10-inch pie plate.
- In a blender, blend the sugar and lemon zest until they are well mixed. Add the almonds, and blend again until the almonds are ground fine. Add the eggs, egg yolks, and butter, and blend until all the contents are well mixed. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Scrape the batter into the pan, and smooth the top. Bake the tart on the center rack of the oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean but the tart is still moist. Let it cool on a wire rack.
- Spoon Sweet Basque Cream onto each plate, and set a tart wedge on top. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve.
- Note: Almonds, easy to find in any supermarket, are most commonly sold raw or blanched. Buy raw almonds, if possible. Because you will be grinding the nuts, it doesn't matter whether they're whole or sliced when you buy them.
