This easy sponge cake is quick and easy to prepare, and quite money-saving on the budget!!   Very tasty, and a great compliment when served with fresh fruits such as sweet cherries, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or peaches!

For 1 cake, which is 6 to 8 servings, you will need the following:

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
dash of salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoon butter
    Almond Topping   (recipe follows) 
Almond Topping:  In a small pan, mix 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup sliced almonds, 2 teaspoons flour and 2 tablespoons milk.  Bring mixture to boiling, stirring.  Spread warm over cake.

 

Preparation:  Beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale, beat in vanilla.  Mix flour, baking powder and salt.  Add to egg mixture and mix to blend.

Scald milk in a small saucepan.  Add butter, stirring until melted.  Add milk mixture to flour mixture, mixing just enough to blend.  Pour batter into a greased 8-inch baking pan.

Bake at 350 degrees until top of cake is well browned and cake tests done with a wooden toothpick inserted at center, comes out clean; about 35 to 40 minutes.

Spread lightly and evenly with Almond Topping.  Place about 6 inches below broiler unit and broil until topping bubbles and browns, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Let cake cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.  Then loosen edges and remove from pan.

***Note:  This recipe calls for using an 8-inch springform baking pan, if you do not have one, don’t worry, you can use your regular round 8-inch pan or a square one.
