ALMOND SNACK CAKE

Almond Snack Cake image

My oldest son was allergic to chocolate, so I had to find goodies to make without it. These treats filled the bill. In fact, my son is 47 now, so I've been making this recipe for a long time! With its great almond flavor, this snack cake is popular at bake sales.
