Рецепт Almond Cake

Almond Cake – a super moist and delicious almond flavored cake, topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar.  A decadent cake that will please everyone! Let’s start Monday out with cake. And not just any cake.  The most moist cake I think I have ever made. My husband is not a chocolate fan, so I am always looking for desserts that we can both enjoy. This almond cake was no exception. If you like almond flavored anything, you are going to love this cake. A friend brought this cake to cooking club a few months ago, and I immediately knew I had to make it at home for my family. They were all happy I did too! I was surprised when I saw the recipe and it called for almond paste.  I have never actually cooked with almond paste before; I just assumed there was almond extract in the recipe.  Nope, paste. So I set out and found 2 cans of it (near the pie filling in the baking isle), and went to work. I will caution you to follow the directions exactly. If you do not mix long enough or high enough, your cake will not turn out. I have heard that from a couple people who have made it, so trust in the directions, even if they seem like over kill. You want to get the final results, trust me! Almond cake is a dense cake, it isn’t your normal light and fluffy cake.  My husband was a little skeptical when he saw there was no frosting involved.  I offered to make an almond glaze to drizzle over the top, but I thought frosting would be way too much. After he tried it, he definitely agreed.  No glaze was made. So even if you are a frosting lover, and think cake isn’t cake without it – try this! You can always add it later, but I know you won’t need to.  Sweet, moist, and tons of almond flavor. So make this almond cake and get your week off to the right start!
