Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch round pan.

Blend 1-1/2 cups sugar and melted butter. Beat in eggs. Stir in almond and vanilla extracts. Add salt and flour and mix well. Spread batter evenly into pan. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and sugar for garnish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Toast almonds ahead or in preheated 350-degree oven while mixing the cake.

This nutty cake looks almost like a pie. It tastes wonderful on a warm summer evening with a tall glass of lemonade. Dress up the look of this cake by surrounding with whole almonds, a topping of whipped cream and a decorative sprig of mint. As is, it packs nicely for a summer picnic and stores well too.
