Scandinavian Almond Cake
"I got this recipe when I bought a cool looking pan. It's meant to go in there, but would work just as well in a loaf pan. This cake is very almondy and moist!"

I let the cake set but still breaks up when I try to remove it from pan

Can a person use Almond milk instead of milk? I have a grandson with an allergy? -
Every time I make this cake in the traditional pan, it sticks. The recipe that came with my pan said to use margarine, but I’ve used butter. Do you think it makes a difference? Also, any tips for getting it out easily? -
Can this cake be made using almond flour? Thanks! -
What size pan do you use to bake this cake? Also, the picture reveals almond slices inside the cake near the top of it. I don't see anything about this in the recipe. Can you enlighten me as to how that is accomplished?

I searched for this recipe after receiving one of these cakes as a hostess gift at Christmas. I've made it on several occasions and have passed it on to others on my step by step blog; Kitchen Toys Make Cooking Fun. If you follow the directions, you should have success and a mouth watering, crave able cake! Thanks Chef for posting this recipe. -
This is so easy and yummy... I get a lot of compliments each time I make it... great almond flavor, perfectly sweet. Thanks for the recipe! -
This almond cake is delicious & so easy to make. I used a 9 x 5 loaf pan - worked great!!! -
Turned out great! I let it cool for a couple hours - not overnight- and it came out easily. I also put a blanched almond in every indentation in the bottom of my pan. On another site with the identical recipe, they mentioned that you can use a loaf pan if you don't have the scandinavian kind!
