Our daughter described this recipe as "being like crack!" It's that good! No modifications. -
The almond flavor is phenomenal! This was so easy to put together. I mixed it up within the alotted 15 minutes and baked it at 315 and 320 because my stove runs hot. If you are looking for a pound cake - choose this! I served this amazing pound cake with sliced strawberries. -
When I saw the ingredients in this pound cake, I knew it would be spectacular. I wasn't disappointed. The flavor is delicately almond and not too sweet. The cake is a light, yet dense in texture. This is a cake for any occassion. I made exactly as directed, not skimping on a thing. I am so glad you shared this with us, Kittencal!
