Tuppakaka is a traditional Swedish cake that is popular all year round but especially during the Christmas season. The name 'Tuppakaka' translated to 'Rooster Cake' because of its shape resembling a rooster's comb. It's a simple cake made with a few basic ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. Tuppakaka has a crispy crust and a light and fluffy texture that is pleasing to the palate. It's usually served warm with whipped cream, raspberry sauce, or vanilla ice cream that complements the nutty flavor of the cake.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) cake pan with butter and flour.
2.	Beat eggs and sugar until pale yellow and fluffy.
3.	Melt the butter and add it to the egg mixture.
4.	Mix the flour with baking powder and add it to the batter. Mix until smooth.
5.	Pour the batter into the cake pan and spread it evenly. Top with bread crumbs and almond slices.
6.	Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing it from the pan.
7.	Serve it warm with whipped cream, raspberry sauce, or vanilla ice cream.
