I made this cake almost exactly per the recipe. The only difference is I waited more than 20 minutes to spread the frosting on the cake, which did make it a bit hard to spread, but with a little patience I got it done. This cake is AMAZING and very easy to make, as cakes go. The frosting is sweet, but, hey, it's CAKE! We absolutely loved this cake. My husband and I both ate two pieces and I portioned out the rest, wrapped and froze for the future. I will definitely never let this recipe go. Also, I did toast the walnuts in the oven at 350º for 8 minutes and they were delicious.

Very moist and flavorful. A bit more labor intensive than I prefer to make.

Wow! I made this cake last night, 06/21/2018, it’s amazing! I love the almond extract in both the frosting and the cake. The frosting is quite sweet, but so delicious. I followed the recipe, with no modification. I set a timer for 20 minutes, to allow the cake to cool from the oven, then immediately spread the frosting, as directed. The cake is still warm and the frosting spread fairly easily. This is a new favorite dessert!

Cake is very good. Frosting, not so much. This calls for way too much powdered sugar. If you use the frosting recipe, cut the sugar back. Not spreadable and will tear the cake.Ended up making a browned butter frosting. Sprinkled toasted almonds on top. Perfect.

With the addition of a bit more almond extract in the cake and the frosting, it was a big hit when I served it.

I've been making this for years, maybe 20, ever since I first tasted it. It was love at first taste! It is great for potlucks and funeral luncheons, etc. It's best to make it for an event to keep from eating it all oneself. I use pecans because that's my favorite. Almonds make the most sense. It does improve with age.

The frosting was very grainy, made exactly as recipe stated. The cake portion of the recipe was excellent.

The cake but good but hate the frosting. I made it exactly the way it was written and it was too stiff to spread on the cake. I would probably make the cake again but use a cream cheese frosting with almond extract. Kinda dissapointed after reading how good it was from all reviewers.
