I got this recipe from my friend Codee and it is absolutely DELICIOUS!! But then again I love anything with almond extract. Really though it is so so good! Its really light and creamy with the perfect amount of frosting.
I guess it is a Finnish recipe that she got from one of her friends....
Dry Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar(I did about 1 1/4-1/2 cups and it was still plenty sweet for me)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter
1 cup water
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp almond extract
sliced almonds, for sprinkling on top
2 cups sugar(I did about 1 1/4-1/2 cups and it was still plenty sweet for me)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter
1 cup water
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp almond extract
sliced almonds, for sprinkling on top
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 15 x 11 jelly roll pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine butter and water--bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add to flour mixture and stir to combine.
Stir in sour cream, beaten eggs, and almond extract.
Pour into prepared pan and bake 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Spread warm (not hot) cake with butter frosting (recipe below). Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Cut into squares and serve.

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk (the higher the fat content, the richer it will taste)
1/2 tsp almond extract(I probably did about 1 1/4-1 1/2 tsp, but just do it to taste)
3 cups powdered sugar
Combine butter and powdered sugar until well mixed, add in milk and almond extract, until desired consistency.
