I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was too dense and heavy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the almond flavor was barely noticeable. I won't be making this cake again.

This cake is a great make-ahead dessert. It can be made up to 3 days in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve it.

This cake is also a great way to use up leftover fruit. I've added chopped apples, berries, and peaches to this cake. They all add a nice sweetness and flavor to the cake.

I've also made this cake with different types of nuts. I've used walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts. They all work well in this cake.

I've made this cake with both almond flour and regular flour. I prefer the almond flour version. It has a more delicate flavor and a lighter texture.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few leftover egg whites in my fridge, and I'm always looking for ways to use them up. This cake is the perfect solution.

I love the almond flavor in this cake. It's so subtle and delicate. The caramelized crust is also a nice touch. It adds a bit of crunch and sweetness to the cake.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The texture was perfect, and the caramelized crust was divine. I would definitely make this cake again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar by about 1/4 cup.

I'm not a big fan of almond-flavored desserts, but I decided to give this cake a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The almond flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the cake was incredibly moist and delicious. I'll definitely be making this cake ag
