This tried and true recipe is absolutely delicious. Nearly 15 years ago, Joanie wrote, "With its creamy frosting and light almond flavor, no one can stop at just one piece!" That certainly is still accurate today. Another reader, Kaye Buckley, from Springfield, Massachusetts loves this recipe and was wondering if we could do a makeover on it. Without being able to see a noticeable difference in flavor, our team cut over 50% of the fat, and more than a third of the calories. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use cake flour for a tender and fluffy cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
