Ikea swedish almond cake....mmmm yumm, right? I thought it would be rather easy to find a compatible recipe to recreate at home ; but my google search gave too many different kinds of swedish almond cake. In the end, I gave this one a try.
Erm... look nothing like the ones I ate in Ikea ; however, taste wise it was pretty close! So, next time I'll just need to search for an icing to go with this cake.

1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp double cream
100g plain flour

2 tbsp dry white breadcrumbs
1 large egg
125g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp double cream
100g plain flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
50g flaked almonds (didn't have any, sub. with roasted snack type)
Melt 50g butter and use some to brush inside an 18cm flan tin then dust generously with breadcrumbs.
Heat the oven to 180C (160 fan).
Break the egg into a large clean bowl and whisk until frothy. Slowly add 100g sugar and beat until thick.
Stir the vanilla and 2 tbsp cream in evenly, sift in the flour and baking powder and fold through, followed by the remaining melted butter.
Spoon into the tin and bake for 25 minutes until the middle is barely firm{*}. Meanwhile melt 25g butter in the same saucepan then add the almonds, 25g sugar, a tsp of flour and 1 tbsp cream and stir over heat until bubbling.
When the cake is cooked remove from the oven and turn the heat up to 210C (190C fan). Spoon the almond mix over the cake, return to the oven and bake another 5 - 7 minutes until golden. Remove from the tin while warm.
{*} the cake was already cooked after 20 mins. , I'll adjust baking time to 15 mins.
