Almond Cake Recipe - Easy One Bowl Cake


	Almond Cake Recipe "Easy cake recipe! Have it cooking while you serve dinner!" This EASY almond cake recipe is hard to goof! The sliced almonds make it look likes it's a professional-tough-to-make-cake. HA! Let 'em think that! Almonds are HUGE in Italian dessert recipes. We grind 'em, make flour from them, sliver them, and chop them. We definitely find a way to use almonds in a majority of our Italian cakes and cookies. Make the effort to write it on your grocery list! They are not tough to find! I have this cake bake while we are eating dinner. It is fantastic when it is warm and right out of the oven. And IF YOU HAVE LEFTOVERS - the next day it slices like a moist thick sugar cookie. This almond cake recipe is a one layer cake. It's very moist and dense. I'm not really too sure about substituting any ingredients. There just aren't that many. However, check out the tips for this recipe below. Almond Cake Recipe Want to print this recipe?

Not only does it taste gross and it's full of toxic chemicals that I can hardly pronounce. BUT - this almond cake recipe really does need the butter to get that wonderful moist flavor. Is the batter supposed to be thick? Yes. This cake is moist and it won't rise very high. So don't panic you will need to "spread" the batter. Thus, the word "spread" in the recipe itself.
