"This is our family's New Year's cake. A coin is baked in the cake, and the person who finds the coin in their slice is has good luck for the year; they also get a prize."

Ingredients :

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups white sugar
• 5 eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions :

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, blend together the butter or margarine and the sugar. Separate 3 of the eggs; add the yolks and the 2 remaining whole eggs to the butter mixture. Stir in the vanilla and water.
• In another bowl, sift together the baking powder and flour. Add these dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.
• Whip 3 egg whites until they are foamy. Add 1 tablespoon sugar. Continue to whip the whites until they are stiff, but not dry. Fold whipped whites into batter.
