This is a great after dinner baking project! The cake comes together quickly, and bakes up easy in a cast iron pan. It's dense, moist, and rich from the addition of creme fraiche and the almond extract doesn't hurt either!

Ingredients

Melted butter 1/2 Cup (8 tbs)
Creme fraiche 1/4 Cup (4 tbs)
Sugar 1 1/2 Cup (24 tbs)
Sugar 1 1/2 Teaspoon (for sprinkling)
Eggs 2
All purpose flour
Salt 1 Pinch
Almond extract 1 Teaspoon
Slivered almonds 1/3 Cup (5.33 tbs)

Directions

Getting Ready

Preheat the oven to 350° F (180º C). 

Making

Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. 

Cream together the butter, creme fraiche, and 1½ cups of the sugar. 

Add the eggs and beat until well-incorporated. 

Add the almond extract, salt, and flour. Mix well, then pour into the prepared skillet. 

Sprinkle the cake with almonds and remaining sugar. 

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown.
