Almond Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round pie plate and set aside.

   In a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Add the flour and the almond extract and beat well.
3. 3
   Spread the batter in the prepared pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 300°F and bake for another 30-35 minutes until the edges of the cake are golden brown.
4. 4
   Let cool completely before slicing and removing the cake from the pan. Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
