Oma'S Boterkoek (Dutch Buttercake) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2/3 2/3 cup margarine or 2/3 cup half-and-half
    1 cup sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
    1 egg, beaten (reserve 1 tsp)
    1 1/2 cups flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    sliced almonds, for garnish (optional)
Preparation
    In medium bowl, mix together butter, sugar and almond extract.
    Add beaten egg except for 1 teaspoon.
    Sift flour and baking powder, and add to bowl, mixing with wet ingredients.
    Put dough in greased 9 inch pie plate.
    Mix the reserved 1 tsp of beaten egg with 1 tsp of water, and brush over dough.
    Sprinkle with sliced almonds, if desired. (My Oma always used the almonds, it looks pretty and adds a nice touch!).
    Bake at 350\u00b0F for 25-30 minutes or until done (firm to the touch).
    This is a dense cake, but should be soft on the inside and hard on the outside, but not too hard!
