Kerstinkaka

This is a quick and easy cake that has been quite popular in Sweden years ago.

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 cups flour

5 Tbsp butter

20 sliced almonds

ground peel of 1 lemon

Melt butter and let it cool. Beat eggs and sugar- the less you beat the better. Add fruit peel. Sift flour and baking powder into the mixture and add butter. Stir only until ingredients are just mixed. Pour into a greased pan that holds about 1 1/2 quarts and sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 350-400 degrees for 30-40 minutes- until cake tester comes out clean from the center.
