SWEDISH VISITING CAKE

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet or another heavy ovenproof skillet, a 9-inch cake pan or even a pie pan.
• Pour the sugar into a medium bowl. Add the zest and blend the zest and sugar together with your fingertips until the sugar is moist and aromatic. (I left out the zest)
• Whisk in the eggs one at a time until well blended. Whisk in the salt and the extracts. Switch to a rubber spatula and stir in the flour.
• Finally, fold in the melted butter. Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Scatter the sliced almonds over the top and sprinkle with a little sugar. (The recipe says to sprinkle granulated sugar. I chose raw sugar)
• Bake the cake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it is golden and a little crisp on the outside; the inside will remain moist. Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool for 5 minutes, then run a thin knife around the sides and bottom of the cake to loosen it. You can serve the cake warm or cooled, directly from the skillet or turned out onto a serving plate.
