Swedish Almond Cake

Zuleikatorte. Whip eggwhite until firm. Mix sugar and almonds. Fold the almond sugar mix into the egghvites. Spread in an 9" well buttered and floured round pan. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes, lower rack. Turn out on a cooling rack. Mix all the ingredients for the frosting in a casserole, put on low heat and stirr until it is thick. (Do not let it boil, it will thicken shortly before it gets that hot and will get even thicker once it is cold) Let it cool slightly and pour on top of cake. (If you want it to be more "fluffy", use only half the cream when making the frosting, whip the rest and fold it into the frosting once it is cold.) Decorate with the flaked almonds that you have roasted lightly in a pan to brown them a little.
