Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Grease an 8-inch cake pan with butter and dust it with breadcrumbs; then set it aside.

Step 3

Combine milk with butter in a small saucepan.

Step 4

Place over low heat until the butter melts, then set aside to cool.  (NOTE:  No need to boil the milk and melted butter).

Step 5

Strain and combine flour and baking powder in a medium bowl.

Step 6

Using a separate and larger bowl, mix eggs and sugar.

Step 7

Add the cooled milk and melted butter and continue mixing.

Step 8

Add the strained flour and baking powder.

Step 9

Mix the toscakaka batter gently --- just enough to combine everything.

Step 10

Pour the batter into the greased cake pan.

Step 11

Place the pan in the middle of the oven for about 20 minutes.

Step 12

While waiting, prepare the glaze by combining all the remaining ingredients in a saucepan:  almond flakes, butter, sugar, milk, and flour.

Step 13

Place over low heat until the butter completely melts.

Step 14

Simmer for about 3 minutes until it slightly thickens.

Step 15

Remove your tosca cake from the oven and pour the glaze on top.

Step 16

Use a spatula to spread it out a bit --- does not need to be perfect or even since it will automatically spread while cooking.

Step 17

Place the pan back in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the glaze turns deep golden in color.

Step 18

Take your pan out of the oven and set it aside to cool.

Step 19

Remove your tosca cake from the pan and slice --- serve and enjoy!
