This classic always tastes great, especially following Grandma’s traditional almond cake recipe from the sheet by Spoonsparrow.
Ingredients
- 500 g flour
- 30 g yeast
- 80 g sugar
- 0.13 l milk

- 200 g butter
- 150 g sliced almond kernels
- 150 g sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions

1.
Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, create a well in the center. Add crumbled yeast with 1 tbsp sugar and a few tablespoons of lukewarm milk to the well and stir with some flour to form a soft pre-ferment. Sprinkle lightly with flour and let rise covered in a warm place for about 15 minutes.

2.
Add the remaining ingredients and knead into a smooth yeasted dough. Cover with a cloth and let rise again for about 30 minutes. On a floured surface, roll the dough evenly to sheet size. Using two fingers, press shallow indentations into the dough plate.

3.
Place butter flakes in the indentations. Distribute almonds evenly over the cake surface. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Bake the butter cake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 40 minutes.
