I have an overabundance of half and half in the house right now and this recipe came up on TK when I searched dessert and half and half. This cake is easy to make and so, so delicious. I love that the pan is dusted with cinnamon and sugar, giving the cake that extra spicy kick. I used pecans instead of almonds because that is what I had on hand and they worked well. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It’s awesome!
