Tomorrow's Baked Good



Almond Tea Cake
This is a variation of a recipe from a cookbook called The Settlement
Cookbook, an heirloom from my mother; I have the 1965 edition. 
In case you want to read more about The Settlement,
here is a link and an excerpt from that link:

http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/turningpoints/search.asp?id=910
Born in Milwaukee in 1858, Lizzie Black Kander helped to establish and was
president of Milwaukee's first social settlement, known simply as "the
Settlement" in 1900. With the financial support of the Federation of
Jewish Charities of Milwaukee, the Settlement offered training in
vocational and domestic skills, as well as classes in English, American
history, and music. Kander believed that food was a powerful means of
religious and cultural expression.
