Almond Cake

This Almond Cake recipe has the very light, subtle taste of almond. It’s fantastic with a dollop of whip cream, vanilla bean ice cream and/or sliced peaches! My husband loves it with honey and cinnamon drizzled over the top.

Notes

This recipe is fantastic with a dollop of whip cream, vanilla bean ice cream and/or sliced peaches! You can also serve it with honey and cinnamon drizzled over the top!
For the cake to keep fresh longer, store in Tupperware in the refrigerator. Then, when you'd like to serve, just let the cake get to room temperature.
