This delicious Dutch boterkoek (butter cake) is moist with an intense almond flavor. It’s a favorite in most Dutch households!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced almonds (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
Step 2
Whisk eggs in a small bowl; reserve about 1 tablespoon for brushing over dough. Whisk flour and baking powder together in another bowl.
Step 3
Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in beaten eggs, then stir in almond extract. Stir in flour mixture by hand using a sturdy spoon; dough will be stiff.
Step 4
Press 1/2 of the dough into each prepared pan. Press almond slices into dough, then brush reserved egg over top.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool, then cut into wedges to serve.
