Dutch Butter Cake (Boterkoek)

Hey, I found a Dutch recipe you might actually want to make!

Dutch Butter Cake (Boterkoek)

½ cup butter (1 stick), softened
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg, beaten
¼ tablespoon almond extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup sliced almonds

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan.

2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg, reserving just enough to brush over the top, about 1 tablespoon. Stir in the almond extract. Add the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter by hand using a sturdy spoon. The dough will be stiff.

3. Press evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle and press the almond slices into the top. Brush the top with a thin layer of the reserved egg.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Cut into wedges to serve.
