butter should be chilled.
Place the flour in a mixing bowl and cut in the butter with a pastry blender or blend with your
fingertips until the texture is like coarse crumbs (about the size of peas)
Sprinkle the two tablespoons of water evenly over the surface of the mixture
Blend only until the ingredients are moistened and the dough can be shaped into a ball
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface or pastry mat
Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/8 inch in the shape of a cookie sheet pan and ease it
gently onto the pan

“Part Two:”
Bring 1 cup of water to boil in a sauce pan with one cube of butter and almond flavoring until
the butter is melted
Remove the sauce pan from the heat and add one cup of flour
Combine the mixture until it leaves the sides of the pan
Add one egg at a time, stirring after each addition
Spread the mixture over the bottom crust all the way out to the edges
Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour and let it cool slightly
Instructions for frosting:
Combine all frosting ingredients except the slivered almonds in a mixing bowl until the frosting
is smooth and the consistency allows you to drizzle the frosting over the warm coffee cake
After drizzling the frosting over the cake, sprinkle with the slivered almonds
