My family and I are almond flavor lovers. We really are. Anything that has almonds or almond flavor, count us in. The flavor is pure and sweet and has such a pleasant fragrance as well. We love eating this almond cake as not only is the flavor so delicious and tasty, but the texture is soft and buttery, giving a melt-in-your-mouth feel. We top it off with a basic homemade vanilla frosting that is so silky and pairs so well with the actual cake. It's light, airy, and is a worthy competitor of the classic vanilla cake. This recipe is so easy to make and has become a repeatedly made dessert in our household. You should give it a try and see for yourself!!
