1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 325°F. Beat the granulated sugar with the almond paste until the almond paste is in fine pieces. Or, better, pulverize it in a food processor. Beat in the unsalted butter and the vanilla , then cream the mixture until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the whole eggs , one at a time - the eggs should be at room temperature - beating well after each addition so the eggs are thoroughly mixed in.
