This cake makes me laugh. The picture only makes this cake even more funny to me. No matter what you do, it is nearly impossible to make this cake look good. Last week I was at a church function with a group of women. When women get together there of course has to be treats. So, there was an entire table covered in awesome looking desserts. It took me awhile to get to the table (because chatting is the next best thing to desserts :). I then see all of these women with this boring, white cake on their plates. I hear everyone oohing and awing about how great this cake is. Me, having the big mouth that I do said, “No offense, that cake looks totally boring and can’t be that great.” Oh boy, did I have to eat my words. I took one bite of this cake and was laughing at how amazing it was! The buttery, smooth, moist, almond goodness of this cake just melts in your mouth. The almond flavor is subtle, yet just enough to make this cake interesting and addicting. I got this recipe from my friend who made it that night and I have made this cake three times in the last week. Funny enough, I am making it again tonight for another get together. This cake might not a win an award when it comes to looks, but it is definitely a winner when it comes to taste!
