Directions
Scandinavian Coffee Cake, The Scandinavians love the taste of almond This easy coffee cake incorporates it and is a nice, easy pastry to enjoy with that first cup of coffee (or the one afterwards 😉 ) , This was really yummy And very authentic to the flavors enjoyed by my Swedish family We would love to have this with our morning coffee We had a couple of issues making it, though which is why we only gave it 4 stars Making it again, I would double the base layer, and not soften the butter We had to freeze the pastry for 1/2 an hour to be solid enough to spread the jam on We used raspberry, which was wonderful! The almond layer made about twice as much as we needed for the size of the base layer The glaze was wonderful- you could easily taste the almond, and it finished the other layers beautifully I really wouldn’t try to serve 16 with this; 8 might be a better estimate, as long as the pieces are very small Great recipe, as long as you are willing to tweak it a bit Made for ZWT9
