White Almond Cake - Versatile image

The almond extract in this cake sets it apart from other basic white cakes; the texture is dense. If you prefer a less dense cake you can add 1/4-1/2 cup milk extra, and if you are not an almond person you can add less extract or even switch the extract to ie.lemon extract. It tastes wonderful as a layer cake with some fresh strawberries. The denseness of the cake makes it ideal for making cake shapes/designs - my friend served it up as a cute bunny. The cake can be baked in a single pan or as a double or triple layer cake - see instructions

I'm not a big fan of almond flavor, but this cake was still really good. The texture was perfect and it was very moist.

This is an amazing recipe! The cake is so moist and flavorful, and the almond flavor is just perfect. Next time I'll try adding some chopped almonds to the batter for extra crunch!
