6. Spread the mixture evenly over the cake pans.
7. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 340 F.
8. Let the cake cool for 5 minutes before removing each from the parchment paper. Then let the cakes cool on a rack.
Caramelized almonds Ingredients:
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup of whole almonds
Caramelized almonds Directions:
1. Pour sugar in a heavy dry (un-greased) skillet. Keeping stirring sugar.
3. Add almonds once the sugar is completely melted.
4. Pour sugar-almond mixture over parchment paper.

2. Turn on the stove to low heat.
3. Add egg yolks into the pot. Do not allow to boil or the egg yolks will scramble.
4. Add 1/3 cup of sugar. Whisk constantly until it thickens. The cream will thicken when you least expect it to. You might need to turn up the heat a bit if nothing happens.
5. Once the cream has thickened turn off the heat.
6. Add the butter into the cream.
7. Remove from heat, and let it completely cool.
8. Tip: To speed up cooling, place the pot in a container of cold water.

• 1/4 cup of almonds
Toasted Almond Directions
1. For garnish toast the remaining 1/4 cup of almonds in a skillet. The skillet needs to be a heavy dry (un-greased) skillet.
3. Stir often over medium heat until golden brown.
4. Once almonds are toasted then leave almonds to cool.
Assemble the cake:

2. Place one of the cake layers on a cake stand or serving plate.
3. Spread about 1/3 of buttercream over each cake layer.
4. Place a 2nd cake layer over the butter creamed 1st layer.
5. Then spread buttercream over 2nd cake layer.
6. Continue adding cake layers and buttercream until the cake is completely assembled. This creates a tårta!
