Things needed

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup almond slices
  • (optional) 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In three mixing bowls separate the following:

  • Bowl 1: Sugar & Eggs
  • Bowl 2:  Flour, Baking Powder, Salt
  • Bowl 3: Oil & Vanilla

(TIMING IS IMPORTANT!):

Using a electric mixer on the lowest setting, mix the sugar and eggs for 4 minutes. The consistency will be liquid BUT it will appear foamy:

Add the oil and vanilla to the egg mixture and continue mixing for about a minute (again, using the lowest setting).

Leave the mixer on and slowly add the flour/salt/baking powder to the egg mixture – continue until all three bowls are combined.

Fold in the almonds/chocolate until they are in the dough (try not to over mix).

Separate the dough into 2 halves and lay them on a cookie sheet that is covered with parchment paper.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and change the oven temperature to 275 degrees.

With a bread knife, cut the loaves in about 1 inch slices at an angle

Before
After

Turn the slices on their sides (still on the parchment paper) and bake for another 20 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and let stand for a few minutes on a wire rack. Cut the slices in half.

Optional: Dust the tops of the pieces with powdered sugar.
