This is a wonderful cake and well worth the time it takes to make. And what's great is that half of the dough recipe will be used for Bienenstich (Beesting Cake), so you can make two great cakes at the same time. Note: This recipe does include Almonds. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05

This cake is very dense. I would recommend adding more baking powder to the recipe.

The cake didn't rise properly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by half.

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The cinnamon flavor is not overpowering at all. It's actually quite subtle and pairs well with the nuts.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover nuts. I had some walnuts and pecans that were about to go bad, so I decided to make this cake. It turned out great! The nuts added a nice crunch and flavor to the cake.
