Also I need to make this tomorrow evening for a burthday party the following evening. Is this a cake that should be served warm and immediately? Or would you let it cool Completely, fridge it, and then bring it out to room temp and then serve the next evening? Or...just leave it out and covered after cooled? -
Am I to use slivered almonds in the recipe or literally cut whole almonds in half?

This is such an excellent cake. It is so decadent that we save it for very special occasions. I follow the recipe exactly except I bake it in a round dish and cut it into pie wedges. We usually serve it with some sort of cherry chip ice cream.

I am a housewife, I love to cook and experiment with different spices and flavors, there are not many recipe ideas I will not try. EXCEPT! anything that is extremely HOT and SPICY, I have a allot of family members living here and most of us spend the holidays together.We all Love to eat and look forward to the different AND the traditional recipes on the Holidays.
My pet peeve...HUM it makes me crazy when someone cooks and leaves the mess pile up, It's easier to clean as you go, that way when the food is done you can actually sit down and enjoy it.
I am very passionate about and being apart of the fight to prevent animal cruelty, and helping to educate people about what happens to Children or Pets left in vehicles on very hot or very cold days, also Pets left in extreme elements outside without the proper necessities.
I believe that anyone that purposely harms or torturers a child or a animal is a Coward!
