Remember the fantastic twisted coffee cake I blogged a little bit ago? I went on and on about a delicious almond butter cake that I loved from the German bakery. Of course, anything that remotely resembles it I have to try.
When Nancy from The Dogs Eat The Crumbs chose Swedish Visiting Cake for this week's TWD I was very excited. The picture in the book looks so similar to the almond cake I love. I knew that I would not be passing this week up!
A great plus for this recipe is that it is super simple to assemble and it uses basic ingredients. I believe Dorie said in the introduction to this recipe that it is said that you can make this cake as you see visitors coming down the road and it will be ready by the time they arrive. Okay, so it isn't that quick, but it is quite speedy!
Thanks to Nancy for hosting this week. Make sure to head over to her blog for the recipe.

Twisted Coffee Cake? That sounds good. May need to look into that. Nice job with your cake today.
I loved it too. Yours looks like mine!
This is one I probably will eventually try (after your Twisted Almond Cake!) basically because I am a FREAK about almond anything! ;)
Your cake looks great! I think I've got to look for your twisted coffee cake recipe too!
I really loved this cake too! Simple and delicious. :)
I don't like almonds but I love almond flavoring so this one was right up my alley :) Your cake looks fabulous - glad you enjoyed it too!
Anything with almonds is ok by me. Especially now that it's lunch time and I'm staring at this wonderful cake. Cheers!
Looks beautiful!! This was a real winner for my family!!!
Loved this one, too. I think it would be great with just about any fruit on top, too, so it's healthy, right. ;)
YOur cake is so pretty and I'm glad it reminded you of an all-time favorite. The combination of great taste and simple technique makes this one a winner. Thanks for baking along with me this week.
Twisted Coffee Cake you say? I might have to dig through your blog and find it. Yum! Glad you enjoyed this cake. Definitely a keeper IMO!

there is something so appealing to me about simple desserts like this, without all the fuss and chocolate, not that there is anything wrong with chocolate
This looks perfect, I'm glad you liked it: we did too!!
Yum, I think this cake has renewed my craving for almond flavored cakes!
i'm not a fan of almonds, but your cake does look nice for those that do :)
this cake looks great. good it s so quick to make :)
It's beautiful - AND simple, but elegant don't you think? Homey is a great adjective... so glad you liked it - there were so many bakers out there that did! NIcely done!
Easy is good, right? This cake surprised me in a good way.
that brown crust looks to die for.
The bakeries in Germany were one of my favorite things! I loved this cake and yours looks perfect!
Nice job on the cake! I love almondy baked goods too, this was a good one.
I know...so simple, but so good, right? We loved it, too.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this cake! You're right, it's so homey and tasty. Your pictures are beautiful, too.
Lol! Your cake looks just like mine! I loved this one too. But, now I want to have some of that almond cake you mentioned too.
I've never had that almond cake you raved about but now I really can't stop thinking about it. I need to just give in and make this myself.
