Cake
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
a little less than 1 stick butter
1/4 cup milk
Topping
4 oz slivered or chopped almonds
1 stick butter
2 tbsp flower
1 tbsp milk or cream
1/2 cup sugar
Start by heating the oven to 375.
Butter a round form with removable bottom
Melt butter and let cool a little
Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy
Add butter to egg/sugar mixture
Add some of the flour, then the milk
At the end, add the last flour mixed with baking powder and carefully mix. Pour into form and put in warn oven.
While cake is baking, slowly heat topping ingredients, stirring until thickening. After 20 - 25 minutes - make sure cake is firm and doesn't wobble in the middle - take cake out and cover with almond mix. Bake for another 10 minutes until lightly brown. If still pale after 10 minutes, turn oven on broil until almond topping gets golden brown. Remove from oven and with a knife, separate topping from form before letting it cool - otherwise the topping may stick to the form and separate from the cake when you remove the form after cooling.
