M. CUNNINGHAM'S ALMOND BUTTER CAKE
"Almond butter cake is not to be taken lightly just because you can stir it together in about 3 minutes, pop it in the oven to bake, and serve it within an hour. It's truly a unique cake, because it doesn't rise very high and it comes out moist, sticky, and chewy, like a cookie. It also keeps twice as long as any conventional cake." From Learning to Cook with Marion Cunningham. My MIL served these recently, cut up like bar cookies, which is just what I thought they were. I was pleasantly surprised to receive this recipe as the source.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring regularly.
- Pour the melted butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar into a large bowl and stir until smooth.
- Crack the eggs right into the same bowl and mix until the batter is creamy and all one color.
- Add the salt, almond extract, vanilla extract, and flour and stir briskly until the batter is smooth.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- Using a rubber spatula, scrape the batter from the bowl into the greased cake pan.
- Spread it evenly in the pan.
- Sprinkle the tablespoon of sugar, then the sliced almonds, over the top of the batter.
- Put the pan on the middle rack of the oven and set the timer for 35 minutes.
- When it rings, check to see if the cake is done.
- It should be light brown on top, and when you insert a toothpick in the center, it should have a few sticky crumbs adhering to it.
- If the cake is not browned enough and the toothpick comes out too wet, put the cake back in the oven and check it again in another 10 minutes.
- When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool on a heatproof counter for at least 30 minutes.
- Cut the cake into small wedges and serve with fresh fruit.
- This cake will stay fresh for about a week and will freeze indefinitely.
- Wrap it tightly in foil, or in a plastic bag you can seal with a zip or tie.
- Storing nuts: Whenever you have leftover nuts, freeze them in a plastic bag closed tightly.
- They will keep indefinitely in the freezer.
LEMON-ALMOND BUTTER CAKE
This buttery almond cake with lemon curd baked inside is like the ultimate citrus tart, without the heartbreak of pie crust. It's fancy enough to be served as a dinner party dessert, yet substantial enough to be served with Sunday brunch. (Bonus: you'll have several tablespoons of lemon curd left over. It's delicious on toast or pancakes.)

Steps:
- For the curd, combine zest, juice, sugar and eggs in a heatproof bowl, and beat well. Add butter, and place over a saucepan full of simmering water. Cook, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, until mixture thickens into curd, about 5 minutes. Strain into a bowl, and press plastic wrap onto surface to keep skin from forming. Refrigerate until cool, at least 1 1/2 hours.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9-inch spring-form pan with 1 tablespoon butter, and dust with 1 tablespoon flour, shaking out excess.
- With an electric mixer, cream the remaining butter and 1 cup sugar together until light and fluffy. Sift together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt, and stir in. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until they start to foam. Do not overbeat or the cake will be tough. Add eggs and ground almonds to batter, and mix well.
- Scrape batter into the prepared pan. Drop 8 individual tablespoons lemon curd around perimeter of batter, leaving a 1-inch border, and taking care to space drops evenly. Drop 3 to 4 tablespoons curd into center of batter. Refrigerate remaining curd for another use. Sprinkle cake with toasted almonds and 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar, depending on taste.
- Bake until cake is toasty brown on top and a toothpick inserted into cake (not curd) comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool on rack 10 minutes, then remove sides of pan, and cool completely.
- Whip cream with almond liqueur. Present cake at table, and offer whipped cream on the side.
