Simple Cake - sugar

Method

• Preheat your oven to 350F and butter a 9" seasoned cast iron skillet, or similarly sized cake pan.
• In a bowl, mix the lemon zest and sugar with your fingers, distributing well.
• Mix the eggs in one at a time, preferably with a whisk, until well blended.
• Add salt and the extracts and the flour, and switch to a rubber spatula or spoon to mix.
• Fold in the melted butter.
• Scrape the batter into your skillet, smooth and sprinkle with the almonds, then some of the demarara or sanding sugar.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until it is golden and looking a bit crispy on the edge.
• Cool 5 minutes, then loosen the edges and bottom with a knife, or a thin spatula.
• Serve from the pan.
• It is moist in the middle-a bit marzipan-ish.
