Almond cake is a traditional dessert in Sweden and has been enjoyed for generations as a sweet treat during special occasions. This cake is made with simple ingredients like sugar, eggs, flour, and almond extract. The addition of cinnamon and butter gives it a rich and buttery flavor that complements the nutty taste of almonds. It's usually served sliced and topped with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.	Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish and set aside.
3.	In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, egg, and almond extract together until light and frothy.
4.	Slowly add in the milk, whisking constantly.
5.	Sift the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon into the sugar mixture and fold until just combined.
6.	Stir in the melted butter until incorporated.
7.	Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8.	Let the cake cool in the dish before slicing and serving.
