I love making treats whenever I feel like it. It makes me feel like I’ve achieved something. Not expected company? There’s no need to worry when you have a simple cake recipe on hand. There you have it. That’s how this cake got its name, Swedish Visiting Cake. You probably already have the ingredients on hand, and it only takes minutes to put together. It will be ready before your guests finish their first cup of coffee.

The main taste in this cake is almond, and wow, does it shine. Sugar, eggs, almond extract, and a splash of vanilla are mixed with flour to make the simple cake base. Then you make the topping by combining egg whites, powdered sugar, and almond slices. Put the cake in the oven for about 25 minutes after adding the topping on top of the thin layer of cake batter. While baking, be careful not to cook the cake too much. It will still be soft and tender when it’s done.

Allow the cake to cool a bit so that the frosting can set completely. For a beautiful end, sprinkle some powdered sugar over the top. People will be amazed that you made this beauty in just a few minutes, and they will all want another piece because it tastes so good with almonds. Try this meal and be the best hostess ever.
