Really good cake–mine took the full 45 min in the oven. Very moist, great with whipped cream or ice cream. I used vanilla extract instead of the almond and it was delish–loved the lemony flavor the zest gave it.

I’m a big, big fan of almond and this cake did not disappoint.

This recipe was easy to follow and quick, too. I will decreased the amount of almond extract just a bit next time (personal preference, the extract gave the cake a slight “edge” to the taste) and my cake didn’t need 45 minutes in the oven; close to 35 did the trick.

I like how dense this cake is. I precut it in to squares, sprinkled powdered sugar over the top and they were gone in no time.

A side of ice cream was a yummy addition.

Next time, I’m thinking that maybe orange zest could be interesting to try and/or some shredded coconut in the cake.

t2nashville – almond meal might work as well, though I prefer freshly grounded. If you try it then tell me how it went. Thanks.

I have a question – I already have almond meal that I purchased from Trader Joe’s. Wouldn’t that work, too? How much do you think 3 cups of almonds would make? Very excited about trying this recipe!
