Swedish Almond Loaf Cake is a dense cake with sweet almond topping, its amazingly easy to make and full of wonderful almond flavor it’s very addictive. The cake is a little spongy and very moist, its perfect with coffee or tea. It’s perfect without any icing and with icing. The pan I bake this in is called a Half Roll Bake pan and it adds such simple elegance to this scrumptious cake. Thanks to the corrugated ridges in the pan, the cake slices are pre-portioned and makes the cake look really pretty.
