Delish! I left out the cinnamon. It did stick to the pan. Next time (AND THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME!), I will flour the pan as well as spraying it. Someone brought this to a conference I attended. I did not have her recipe, but just searched for "almond cake" and was delighted to find this recipe. It tastes just like the one I sampled. PERFECT!

I LOVE this. Almond is my favorite flavoring! I leave out the cinnamon and bake in a loaf pan. When cool, slice about an inch thick, top with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and add a cherry. DELICIOUS!

A real winner of a cake! I made this in a loaf tin and sprinkled the slices with vanilla icing sugar to serve. I adore almonds, and this cake was VERY almondy! I did NOT add the cinnamon, but added a little extra of the almond extract and about 1/2 cup of ground almonds - only because I had some left in an opened bag! Would make a very good dessert pudding cake - served warm. Made for ZWT3 - thanks for posting Rezika! FT

Reviewed for the Kids Cooking Forum Recipe Tag Game Easy to make and tasted great. I used a gluten-free flour blend and added a teaspoon of xanthan gum for a gluten-free cake.
