Norwegian Almond Cake
|
If you enjoy almonds as much as I do, you will love this delicious cake, not only as a dessert, but a slice of this awesomeness will brighten your morning with a cup of coffee. You can even call this treat a breakfast cake.
Top a slice of cake with berries and ice cream for an after-dinner deliciousness.
For an extra touch, a large spoonful of cherry pie filling and a generous dollop of whipped cream on top would make this experience well worth it for anyone with a sweet tooth. I must confess, I am one of them.
Oh, I must mention that taking this dessert along to share with your friends will please everyone at your next get-together. You will get Ohs and Ahs guaranteed.
