Swedish Almond Cake

• 1 cup Vanilla Sugar (See Note)
• 1 whole Lemon, Zested
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 1/2 teaspoons Almond Extract
• 1 cup Flour
• 1/2 cups Butter, Melted
• 1 Tablespoon Coarse Sugar (or Pearl Sugar)
• 2 Tablespoons Sliced Almonds

1. In the bowl of your stand mixer, blend vanilla sugar with the lemon zest. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add in salt and almond extract.
2. Mix in the flour and melted butter. Sprinkle coarse sugar and almonds on top and mix to combine.
3. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9-inch cake pan. Bake in a 350u0b0F oven for about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool several minutes before turning out of the pan.
4. Note: I used homemade vanilla sugar (you can find a recipe on my blog). But you can certainly substitute granulated sugar mixed with the seeds from half of a vanilla bean, scraped. Or instead of the seeds you can use 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
