Wanting an almond tea cake recipe, I read several online.....
which led to reading several posts about Dorie Greenspan's Swedish Visiting Cake recipe.
I modified her recipe because I like cherries and almond together!
Here is my recipe:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt one stick unsalted butter. Cool slightly and add 1 scant c. sugar. Beat in 2 eggs.
Add 1 tsp. each vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix in 1 cup flour and a pinch of salt.
Spread in a greased 9 " spring form pan. Top with cherry preserves and sliced almonds.
Bake about 35-40 minutes or until cake tests done.
[There is no leavening agent other than the eggs in this, but it makes a nice tea cake!]

Oh that looks and sounds wonderful. I must try it when my grandson comes for tea. His family is talking about a trip to England someday and so he insists that we have tea in the afternoon. (He is 7) And he insists that tea is not complete without cake. So we study the teas from England and try to incorporate things that we can into our afternoon tea.
