Nancy J.'s Notes:

I have made this cake many times...with excellent results!
Wouldn't you know..today....I must have done something wrong..
Removing it from the pan..it fell apart..
Now I know it has to sit , cooling in the pan..10-15 minutes..
I lost track of time..my mistake,
It still tastes great.
I show you all the photos...so's you don't make the same mistake I did!!!....It has a crusty exterior with the almonds...and tastes great.
Nancy....7/6/12

YOu will want a straight sided pan..
for the almonds.
I used a tube pan...the center removes...
It is a two piece pan...like for angel food cake..
You could try it with a bundt pan...let me know how it turns out...please
