Fudgy Almond Tray Cake

It is filled with almond flavours both in the cake and in the icing, but it has chopped toasted walnuts in the icing, which kind of doesn’t make sense, if its an almond cake, but once you taste it, totally does make sense.

They provide a lovely contrast to the almond flavour which could become cloying . . .  the toasted walnuts help to balance that out. 

It cuts into 20 pieces.  I can never cut anything straight.  I was going to show you the 20 pieces, but alas, it was all over the place.  I don’t know what is up with that.  I can draw just about anything under the sun, but don’t ask me to cut or draw a straight line. I just can’t do it.

I have never been able to do it.  Never. 

It has the most incredibly moist and fudgy texture, quite unlike other cakes.  It almost has the texture of a Brownie. But it’s not a Brownie, its a cake.

Other than the words . . .  BAKE IT TODAY.

Don’t hesitate.  Get right into that kitchen and start mixing it up.  You will never regret it.  I guarantee.  Well, maybe you might regret it a tiny little bit because it is just so dang good, but those feelings will disappear with the second slice.
