I enjoyed this cake, but my children didn't care for it because of the almond flavor. I think if I put vanilla or chocolate extract, they would've loved it. I really enjoyed it, especially because it was low in calories, but I really like almond. So next time I'm going to make it with vanilla or chocolate extract for my children :) Everyone else that ate it just loved it. I did use a regular 9" cake pan instead of the spring form and it worked without any problems.

I've made this before and enjoyed it. Tonight when I made it, i inadvertantly ended up letting the egg whites warm to room temp and the cake was even fluffier than when I've made it in the past. Also, if you want to save some time on the raspberry sauce and don't mind seeds, you can blend the raspberries, lemon juice and sugar all together.

This is a chocoholic's dream. It tastes so rich and decadent and makes a beautiful presentation with the raspberry sauce.
