Butterless Almond Cake Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients together.
• Combine all the wet ingredients together in another bowl.
• Pour the liquid ingredients all at once into the dry ingredients, and beat until smooth.
• Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 20-25 minutes. Let cool in pan. When cool sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Grease pan.
• Line bottom of pan with wax paper and grease paper.
• Use box grater and grate almond paste.
• Add almond paste, sugar and eggs to a mixing bowl.
• Mix on medium speed until well combined.
• Turn speed to high, and mix for 3 minutes.
• Add flour and salt to almond mixture.
• Mix on a low speed until just combined.
• Add almond slivers
• Pour batter into pan.
• Bake for 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
• Cool cake in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes.
• Invert on plate or wire rack, peel off wax paper.
• Invert cake back onto wire rack (so top doesn't get lined) to finish cooling.
• Dust with confectioners sugar if desired.
• Enjoy with your morning or evening coffee!

Steps:

• Bring to a boil the first eight ingredients. Cool. Add remaining ingredients and mix together.
• Bake in an 8 x 8 pan at 350 degrees until a toothpick comes out clean. (Mom didn't write a time so I would start checking at 20 minutes but I'm guessing it would take 30-40 minutes to be done.) (It's a small cake so you don't have to worry about lots of leftovers!)
• Note: I haven't made this for quite a while and now I would try to make it healthier. I would use Splenda brown sugar. I would try using unsweetened applesauce or a fruit purée that is sold to replace fats in baking to replace all or part of the shortening. I would replace a good part of the flour with whole wheat, almond or soy flour. I have done all of these things in other recipes and the outcome was good so I have no reason to think that it wouldn't work for this one!

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, water, shortening, raisins, spices, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and stir while cooking for 3 minutes. Cool.
• Measure flour, soda, and baking powder, and sift together.
• Gradually stir dry ingredients into raisin mixture. Beat well. If an almond cake is desired, stir in almond extract and almonds. Pour batter into a greased 8 x 4 inch loaf pan.
• Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Heat through the milk in a small plan until bubbling at edge. Preheat the oven to 180C.
• Sift flour with baking powder
• and salt. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix at high speed, eggs, until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add sugar, beating until mixture is smooth and well blended...about 5 min.
• At low speed, blend in flour mixture until smooth. Add warm milk and lemon peel, beating until combined. Immediately pour batter into ungreased, 9-inch cake pan.
• Bake 30 min, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely. Then serve.
