Portuguese Almond Cake – Torta De Amêndoas

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190 ° C top / bottom heat.
Beat the butter and sugar until frothy, then gradually fold in the egg. Sift in the flour and baking powder and fold in. Put the dough in a 20 cm springform pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until it feels elastic when pressed on and is slightly browned in the middle.
To make the topping, slowly melt the butter in a heavy saucepan. Stir in sugar, almonds and milk and heat without stirring for 5 - 10 minutes until the mixture is lightly browned. Spread on the floor and bake the cake for another 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool before serving.
