Very good, very simple cake my mom gets every year for Mother's Day. I sometimes add crushed cashews to the cake batter as well.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package butter recipe cake mix
1 cup butter, softened and divided
2/3 cup water
3 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk

  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1/2 cup butter, the water, eggs, and almond extract; mix well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans, dividing evenly.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool, then remove from the pans to cool completely.

This cake was a disaster. It was so dense and dry that it was inedible.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the cake didn't turn out right. It was too dry and the frosting was too runny.

This cake was delicious! The cashew flavor was subtle but present, and the cake itself was moist and flavorful. The frosting was also very good, and it held up well on the cake.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The cake was surprisingly light and fluffy, and the cashew frosting was rich and creamy. I'll definitely be making this again for special occasions.
