How to Make Almond Paste Twirl Coffee Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. In a small bowl, combine the almond paste, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Dollop spoonfuls of the almond paste mixture over the batter. Swirl gently with a knife or toothpick.
7. Pour the remaining batter over the almond paste mixture and swirl again gently.
8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
