Buttery, almondy heaven! This is a rich cake and just perfect to match with your favorite frosting. I used cream cheese frosting (store bought...I was in a hurry!) and sprinkled that with toasted coconut flakes...YUMMY! The cake is so good! Be sure to make it in a 'sheet cake' pan. It is a dense flat cake...that is what it is supposed to look like. I might...MIGHT try taking to butter amount down a little next time I make this. Thanks for posting this recipe!! (My house smelled like heaven as well!!)

    Oh my goodness. This is the BEST cake I have ever made. The flavor was amazing. My guests raved about the wonderful almond flavor and how moist the cake was. Thank you - this will be a recipe I use frequently.

    This is an incredible cake! I made a few changes after making this very popular cake 3 times in 2 weeks, and the changes made it even better. I added an extra half cup of flour, reduced the sugar by a half cup, and added a teaspoon of baking powder. These changes make the cake lighter without loosing any taste.

    Goodness this is rich and good! Without chocolate??? Never made a cake with quite the directions these had, but it turned out perfect. I'm the disposable pan queen and I made in a 13 x 9 and an 8 x 8 (to put in the freezer). The frozen version held up nicely and one meal we served it with some fresh berries on the side. Awesome! This is definitely a great change of pace from chocolate and bundt cakes. We'll be making again soon!
