Botercoek "Butter Cake"

Tonight I made the traditional Dutch botercoek for my family. I got this recipe from our family cookbook, and it's very simple to make. Everyone said it tasted delicious, even if we've eaten this a hundred times.

Ingredients:

It's a bit crumbly because it looked so darn tasty that I just couldn't wait until it cooled.

• 1 cup of softened butter
• 2/3 cups of brown sugar
• 2/3 cups of white sugar

• 2 eggs
• 1/4 tsp of baking soda
• 1/2 tsp of baking powder
• 2 cups of flour
• 2 tsp of almond extract 

Directions:

• Take the first 3 ingredients and mix them together in a large bowl. Mix on high until the batter is creamy.
• Combine the following ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture and mix very well.
• Bake in the oven for 45 minutes at 300 degrees F. Bake in a greased pie plate or double the recipe if your using a 9"x3" greased pan.

Changes:

• The recipe originally called for the cake to go in for only 30 minutes, but I found that to be too gooey and a bit undercooked.
