Swedish Visiting Cake
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Nancy of The Dogs Eat the Crumbs picked Swedish Visiting Cake on page 197 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
Nancy is awesome! I've been following her blog for a long time, and all her tweets. Her entries are filled with notes...you know that she made the cake and analyzed it for us. And of course Nancy picks a winner of a cake!
You are supposed to make it a 10" cast iron skillet but I made mine in a 10" cake pan. Both still yummy! :)
I'm celebrating National Library Week on the Food Librarian blog. Stick around to check out the five days of giveaways this week!

At first glance your picture at the top reminded me of pacman!! I love the color of your cake, wasn't this tasty?
Your cake wins my imaginary 'perfect texture' prize. It looks amazing! So fluffy yet tight crumbed. Oh my!!
I'll come visit - is there any left??? Nice cake Mary - so perfect looking! I agree - it's a yummy cake (that I'll make over and over)...!
Just perfect! Dare I say that yours looks even better than the photo in the book? Because seriously, I'm regretting not having any of this cake left...

Love that lonely little almond sliver in the first picture. Honestly makes that picture for me. I'm a sucker for lonely little nuts. HA HA! Happy National Library Week to my favorite librarian!

I LOVED this cake - so simple but so tasty! I love the look of the almonds on yours, my almonds were naked but I like it with the skin on for the more rustic feel/look. =)
This looks delicious!!
