This an excellent cake. I have a slighty different recipe which I made for a small party. Others were bringing chocolate dessert pastries. The young men in the group (who brought chips and pretzels) found it and ate it all. Then they asked for more. We all had a good laugh and referred them to the delicious chocolate goodies which also disappeared in a few minutes.

Sounds delicious. Do you use any icing on this cake?

not familiar with grams can you convert please.

Hi, looks like a great recipe. I can't wait to get some marzipan to try it. Is it firm/dense enough to carve?

HI Bily, to comvert from grams to oz,.... 1 oz = 28.35grams, so you will take the grams divide it by 28-35 and that will give you oz. I personally like grams for baking b/c I thinks it's more acurate and it consistency in quality... here is an example for the calculations.. 250/28.35=8.8 oz of butter..

thank you anna

could someone convert this to cups for me I tried another recipe like this and it came out terrible. Thanks for the help

I often use either chocolate ganache or chocolate/Kaluha buttercream with the almond cake and both go very well with it.

Yes, it is dense enough to cut for a shaped cake. I used it in both my fish cake and my mannequin bust cake.

Here's a link to an online measurement converter. http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/conversions.html I don't have time to do all the conversions and post them but this will help you do it yourself. I always use a scale for all my baking and prefer using weights than cups...it's more accurate.

btw...most scales will have grams and ounces. It's a very good investment to have one as a lot of recipes are in weights.

do you use cake flour for this?

Nope. AP for all my recipes so far.

U said you use a chocolate/kaluha buttercream with this cake. it sounds delicious. Do you have a recipe you could share? Can't wait to try it.

This sounds delicious. Can I please get the recipe for the chocolate/kaluha buttercream also. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

It says "1- 9"x2" layer cake", is this only 1 layer cake??? thanks

Trying it now! It's in the oven! Plus I put a little of the batter in cup cases to see if it works for cup cakes! Fingers crossed lol

OMG! Devine cup cakes! Especially warm- couldn't wait to ice them 2 out of 3 eaten! This cake is gonna be delicious!!!

I would highly recomend buying a digital scale if you like to bake. Weighing ingredients is extremely quick and effecient, less mess and leads to very consistent results. Trust me, once you use one you will never go back! You will have an easy time doubling, tripling and quadrupling recipes as well!. This is how professional bakers do it!
