Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (can also use milk or cream)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (white or brown)
  • 1 cup slivered or sliced Almonds
  • 1 cup butter (divided, melted)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease with butter a 9x13 baking dish. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, softened butter and buttermilk. Mix the dry and wet ingredients until well-blended.
  • Spread it evenly in the prepared pan and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Take out the pan after 20 minutes but do not turn the oven off.
  • As the cake bakes, prepare the topping. Place the sugar, slivered or sliced almonds, and half the melted butter in a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
  • Once the cake is out, drizzle the remaining melted butter on top ensuring the entire cake is covered. Sprinkle tiny clusters of the topping evenly over the cake. Press it gently on the semi-baked cake. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until a toothpick or tester comes out clean.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely in the pan. Slice into squares and serve with coffee!
