I haven't tried this yet; I got the recipe out of a cozy mystery I just finished, but it sound good!


Almond Cake to Die For

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 jar almond filling
tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups AP flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup milk
2 tbs. orange zest

Beat butter & sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well in between. Beat in almond filling and vanilla until blended.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to almond mixture, a little at a time, alternating with milk.

Add orange zest and beat until batter is blended.

Spread batter evenly into a 10" tube pan or Bundt pan.

Bake 55 minutes or until center is springy and sides begin to pull away from the pan.

Remove cake from pan and let cool on rack. Top with favorite frosting or fruit glaze.
