Christmas is almost near, and these days of waiting are the sweeter of the year.
days of preparation, packaging ... days of Christmas small snacks with friends that warm hands and hearts.
The recipe I am proposing is perfect for a good 5 with tea lights and Christmas music.
A small almond cake very sweet, which should be enjoyed in small doses and that appeals to those who do not love me as panettone.
Recipe that seems a bit 'hard-working, the cake consists of three layers, but that is sure result.
Start with the first layer.
Beat butter with sugar until you get a soft cream, add the egg well.
Add flour and stir well ... you get the dough will be quite thick.
Roll out into a square or rectangular baking dish, no matter that the edges are very high because the cake will not rise much. I used a square mold with the side of 23 cm.
Place for a moment from the pan, turn the oven to 180 degrees and begin to prepare the second layer.
In a bowl, as if you were to start over, beat the butter and sugar, add eggs and work well.
Add the ground almonds and flour.
This time the mixture will be slightly softer ... Hang with a spoon into the pan, lay it on top of the first compound.
Bake the pan for about 20 / 25 minutes until you see the beautiful golden cake.
Sfornatela and let cool.
Prepare the third layer (the cover caramelized).
In a saucepan place the butter, honey, sugar, put it on low heat and bring to a boil, stirring slowly. Add sliced \u200b\u200balmonds and cook few minutes.
When you see the mixture become a bit dark and comes away from the edges, stirring well to say that it is ready.
Pour the cake with a spoon and roll it out quickly with a spoon ... Note that cools and hardens.
Cut the cake into small squares and enjoy it with a good tea with cinnamon looking Christmas tree lights!
