Ingredients
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1-1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. salt
4 eggs
2 sticks margarine
1-cup almonds, chopped
Cinnamon {for dusting}
Directions
With a hand mixer, cream together the margarine and sugar in a large bowl. Continue mixing and adding one egg at a time.
In a smaller bowl sift together the remaining dry ingredients. Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix until lumps are gone. Add in the almonds.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, and sprinkle it with cinnamon. Put the dough on a baking sheet and form into a loaf/ log shape. The dough will be very sticky. (I take a piece of wax paper and place it on top of the dough and slightly flatten the dough with a rolling pin, then shape the sides a little.)
Bake in oven for 35-40 minutes. Remove and let cool.
Once cooled slice the loaf width wise, like cutting a loaf of bread. Turn the pieces on their sides and bake again until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
