I have made this many times, and it is excellent. Sometimes I substitue with vanilla extract---just a slight taste variation and just as good as almond flavor.

This is one of the best desserts I have tasted in a long time. Its very easy, original, and tastes like it is homemade. I'm definatley making this again.

I have made this cake twice now and brought it to gatherings. It got rave reviews, and I got lots of requests for the recipe. It is easy and fast but tastes like you have fussed for hours. Love it!
