Almond Cake

This was originally for coconut but I switched the shredded coconut for slivered almonds.  You choose your favourite!

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 cup milk
3 cups flour
3 eggs
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp lemon extract
1 cup slivered almonds

Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs; beat well.  Sift flour with baking powder; add alternately with milk.  Add lemon extract and fold in almonds.  Bake in a large 9 x 13 inch pan.  This is not a high cake.  Bake at 350 F until a tester comes out clean and cake leaves sides of pan  30 minutes.  I prefer this without icing but you could put a butter icing on it if you wish.
