ARMENIAN NUTMEG CAKE
Armenia is famous for its sweet and spicy nutmeg cake. It has a crunchy base and light cake topping, and tastes delicious. This recipe was given to me 16 years ago by the mother of one of my son's kindergarten friends. Tried and true!

- Combine well.
- Pour into pan and sprinkle nuts, and some cinnamon if desired, over top.
