Almond Cream Cake
Oh my lordy, I am so making this for myself for my upcoming birthday. Is it fair that I will be making my own birthday cake, you ask? Why yes, I answer, it is. I like making cakes.
Almond Cream Cake
- 1 recipe white cake, dry ingredients only OR 1 white cake mix
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/3 cup oil (I might use softened butter for this; don’t know)
- 3 eggs
- 1 Tablespoon almond extract
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 can almond filling, about 10 ounces
- 1 unit marzipan (I’m still trying to figure out how much)
- Slivered almonds for garnish
- Mix cake ingredients, water, oil, eggs, and almond extract well for about 2 minutes. Line 2 9-inch cake pans and fill with batter. Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes or until springs back. Cool on a wire rack.
- Roll out marzipan into about a 9-inch circle between sheets of plastic.
- Whip cream with powdered sugar to soft peaks. Fold almond filling gently into 2 cups whipped cream; reserve remaining whipped cream.
- Cut each cake into two layers.
- Layer cake, almond whipped cream, cake, marzipan, cake, almond whipped cream, and finally cake. Cover the cake with the reserved whipped cream and top with slivered almonds.
Note: this will not be making an appearance on the FitFare blog. Not a chance.
Sounds like you’ll have to run especially fast post-birthday.
Well, I’m planning to share it.
[…] Denny and I are taking the afternoon off for some recreation and relaxation, including trying the lunch fare at Prairie Table. I’ll also assemble the almond cake I posted about a while back, which I baked last night. This afternoon my parents are coming over, and we’ll do more presenty fun (this is a belated celebration for Denny’s birthday, too), then go out to Mount Vernon for a delightful dinner. Then, assuming we have the energy, we’ll all go to No Shame. My parents haven’t been to No Shame in a while, but I think they’ll do ok. Frankly, it’s been pretty tame lately anyway. Unfortunately, two very solid writers are out of town tonight, so I’m afraid it won’t be a very good show. Oh well; I’m reasonably happy with the piece I wrote, so we’ll see. […]
[…] The recipe is a slight variation on this one. Cupcakes are easier for a potluck than a whole layer cake. […]
