Almond Cake Recipe


3 eggs, lightly beaten
8 ounces almond paste
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350F. Cream 1 egg, the almond paste, and the sugar, then beat in the remaining eggs. Beat in the butter, then stir in the flour until just incorporated. Pour into a buttered, floured 8-inch round cake pan and bake 45 to 50 minutes, until a tester comes out clean. Cool, then invert onto a plate and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with raspberry purée.
