Toscakaka - Swedish almond caramel cake

As a Swede who bakes a lot , what I'm close to tell side past times side is a fight embarrassing.
I induce got never baked a toscakaka before.
Why , you lot wonder? I induce got no idea.
But directly , I must tell I'm real glad I in conclusion did. Better belatedly than never , right?
Not solely is each piece a buttery , moist , fluffy , crunchy , caramelly piece of sky , it's also incredibly tardily to make.

I sentiment I'd come upwards dorsum (as you lot may induce got noticed , I haven't blogged inwards quite a while) amongst something actually fancy , similar a crazy layer cake or something , but I rapidly realized that was agency besides ambitious for the soil I'm inwards (Exhausted! Uninspired!).
Cause it's form of difficult to teach dorsum , then I sentiment I'd brand something real tardily without compromising flavor. It worked out good , I must say. I intend I happily announced finishing my novel mass close 4 months ago? Forget I fifty-fifty said that. Still working on it!
While I'm working on finishing that mass , you lot cash inwards one's chips correct ahead in addition to brand this cake. Ok?
