A friend asked me to post this recipe. This is almost like eating a marzipan cake. It is rich and wonderful but is often passed over because of it's rather "vanilla" appearance. Don't be fooled!!
12 oz almond paste (I used Odense. This comes in a tube that is packed in a box. Squeeze the box to make sure the tube has a little give to it. I once got an old tube or something and it was hard as a rock!)
3/4 Cup butter softened
1 1/4 Cup sugar
4 Eggs
1tsp almond extract
1 1/4 Cups Flour
1 tsp baking powder
Beat together almond paste, butter and sugar until blended.
Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in almond extract.
Add flour and baking powder and mix until just blended
Spread into a lightly greased 9" springform pan that has been lined on the bottom with parchment paper.
Bake at 325 degrees for one hour. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Serve dusted with powdered sugar.
