I learned this recipe on an exchange I took to France last year, a specialty of the city of Nantes which in days long ago was a port where things such as rum, almonds, and slaves were traded. The icing was a bit strong for me at first, but I took a liking to it. It was a hit with everyone who tried it when I got back. The French really know how to cook from scratch! Ingredients:
100 g sugar |
100 g butter |
200 g almond powder |
200 g flour |
4 eggs |
4 tablespoons rum |
2 tablespoons rum |
confectioners' sugar (icing) |
Directions:
1. For the icing mix icing sugar with the 2 tbsp of rum until it reaches a consistency and taste that you are happy with
2. let butter soften and combine the ingredients.
3. Bake at 350-375 degrees (Fahrenheit) or 200 celcius for 40 minutes.
4. Let cool and ice, serves six or more people.
