This cake gets better the longer it sits, so I try to make it a day ahead. My mother-in-law introduced this deliciously rich cake to me. With its creamy frosting and light almond flavor, no one can stop at just one piece!

Your welcome, I hope it turns out good.
Sounds good, I bet it would be really good and almond-y with chopped toasted almonds in the icing!! The directions are super easy. I think it would be good for our bbq this summer.I'm going to test it out sometime between now and May, I'll let you know how mine turns out, thanks for the recipe.
Oh great L. I didn't thought about toasted almonds. I may try that next time I make it. Thanks for the idea. Thanks for keeping me posted on how it turns out. I know with your talents, you'll add something to it that will make it even more better.
Oh. My. Goodness.
This sounds delish but SO not part of my think thin right now. LOL
I am a sucker for cake!
Hey Aubrey, stick with your think thin program. I need to be on one.
