Holland Boterkoek
An indulgent Dutch treat that's incredibly simple to whip up and pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee. It's more akin to a tender cookie than a traditional cake, but its irresistible flavor remains undeniable.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons almond extract
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch round cake pan or pie plate.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, sugar and almond extract until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Blend in the egg. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the mixture using a sturdy spoon until dough forms a ball. Press the dough into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is light golden brown. When cool, slice into wedges to serve.
