Recipe of the Month

There’s a story behind this recipe, which was given to me by my cousin Dee. We were visiting her a few years ago and as usual we were all craving something sweet. She whipped up this masterpiece in the matter of a few minutes, and ever since then it’s our last minute go-to for something scrumptious. We nicknamed it Pake, because even though you make it in a pie pan, it has more of a cake consistency. As long as you have a few staple items on-hand, this is a no-brainer. Enjoy!

Dee’s Almond Pake

1 cup flour

1 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 cube butter (room temperature)

1 tsp almond extract

Slivered almonds.

Mix together flour and sugar, then cut in butter. Add eggs and almond extract, mixing well until there are no lumps.

Pour mixture into a greased pie plate/tin and sprinkle with slivered almonds and a bit more sugar. Bake for 30 minutes at 350, or until done. Serve warm.

I would love to hear what you think about this (and any other) recipe. Please let me know your thoughts!
