6 eggs
2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 T baking powder
3/4 cup blanched almonds, finely chopped

Preheat the oven to 350F. Place the butter in a bowl and beat until soft and light with an electric blender or hand whisk. Slowly add the remaining 1 cup sugar, then add the eggs individually, beating thoroughly after each addition. In another bowl, sift the flour, semolina and baking powder together. Add the chopped almonds and mix well. Gradually add this mixture to the batter, beating continuously. Finally, add the vanilla and brandy to the mixture and pour into a buttered 9 x 12 inch rectangular baking pan.
