ALMOND POUND CAKE



Almond Pound Cake image

Very rich! One of my favourite cakes. This is good dressed up with frosting, served plain, or with fruit. I quadrupled this recipe, and baked it in two 9"x13" pans to make a cake for my father's 65th birthday party. Note: be sure the almonds are finely ground; if they seem somewhat coarse you should run them through the food processor until quite fine.

Their recipe uses the Moist White Cake mix so it is easy to put together. Comments on their site said that the 1 tablespoon of almond extract called for was too much, so I adjusted to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Serve with berries for a spring treat.

ALMOND CRUNCH POUND CAKE



Almond Crunch Pound Cake image

This is a dense, rich cake with a candy-like topping that is easy to make. It freezes really well so you can have a great dessert on hand. Wrap well and store at room temperature up to 2 days or freeze up to 1 month. Crisp it in the oven briefly at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for that just-baked taste. Serve with whipped cream and raspberries.
