This cake gets better the longer it sits, so I try to make it a day ahead. My mother-in-law introduced this deliciously rich cake to me. With its creamy frosting and light almond flavor, no one can stop at just one piece!

LOVE this sheet cake and the almond flavoring makes it fabulous! I would suggest cutting back on the flavoring though... it is strong!

I made this for a super bowl party. Friends raved. Said it tasted like a glazed doughnut.

This is a decadently delicious recipe! I ran short on walnuts, so I mixed in some macadamia pieces (both toasted in a dry pan first), and that turned out to be a YUMMY combo! Also, in the frosting, I used buttermilk instead of regular milk, cut back on the powdered sugar by at least a half cup, and added a couple of tablespoons of Grade B maple syrup. CRAZY GOOD!

I have baked this cake at least 6 times. everyone loves it. The only thing that I have changed is, I have used pecans if I didn't have walnuts.Great recipe.
