Preparation time: 30 minutes. Serves 10-12

Ingredients for coffee cake:

First part:

Ingredients:

• 1 cube (4 ounces) butter, cut into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons of water
• 1 cup of flour

Second part:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of water
• 1 cube (4 ounces) butter
• 1 cup of flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of almond flavoring

Ingredients for frosting:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Small amount of melted butter
• A splash of coffee
• Slivered almonds

Instructions for restaurant coffee cake:

Use the butter and flour and water in "part one" to make the bottom crust of this recipe. The butter should be chilled.

• Place the flour in a mixing bowl and cut in the butter with a pastry blender or blend with your fingertips until the texture is like coarse crumbs (about the size of peas)
• Sprinkle the two tablespoons of water evenly over the surface of the mixture
• Blend only until the ingredients are moistened and the dough can be shaped into a ball
• Place the dough on a lightly floured surface
• Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/8 inch and ease it gently into the pan you are using

"Part Two"

• Bring 1 cup of water to boil in a sauce pan with one cube of butter and almond flavoring until the butter is melted
• Remove the sauce pan from the heat and add one cup of flour
• Combine the mixture until it leaves the sides of the pan
• Add one egg at a time, stirring after each addition
• Spread the mixture over the bottom crust all the way out to the edges
• Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour and let it cool slightly

Instructions for frosting:

• Combine all frosting ingredients except the slivered almonds in a mixing bowl until the frosting is smooth and the consistency allows you to drizzle the frosting over the warm coffee cake
• After drizzling the frosting over the cake, sprinkle with the slivered almonds
