Scandinavian Almond Cake

1 1/4 c sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
2/3 c milk
1 1/4 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 stick margarine, melted

In a bowl, combine sugar, egg, almond extract, and milk. Beat together.

Add flour and baking powder. Mix together.

Add melted margarine. Mix well.

Line pan with foil, and gently and slowly smooth foil down into all the indents. Take your time. Try not to break any holes in the foil. This step seems annoying but is 100% worth it when your cake is done cooking and it comes time to remove it from the pan without breaking it or pulling the top off!

Spray foil with nonstick spray, then pour mixture into pan and bake for 40-50 minutes @ 350 degrees.

To avoid under baking, do the toothpick test - don't just go by the color of cake.

Cool in pan for at least 40 minutes. Turn over and lightly tap cake with foil out of pan, pulling on edges of pan to loosen. Go slowly, being careful not to break the cake. Once out, slowly peel off the foil.

This is great served with jam!
