This is the fifth cake that the THB is baking from the Coffee Cakes by Seibert Pappas organised by Joyce from kitchen flavours but for whatever reasons this is my second cake for this event.
I baked only half the recipe using a 6 x 6 square pan. I love the crisp of the almond flaks and the cake is quite fine in texture. I find it quite challenging to scatter the almond flaks on the sides of the greased pan. :)
Please visit Emily for the recipe and to view the other members bake on this cake, do drop by THB.

Hi Chris, Nice to see you back in action! Hehehe!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks moist, and a great idea to scatter the almond flakes on top and at the bottom, I did not do that, and kinda regret that, as I love the almonds!
Wish you a lovely and delicious week!
Its a nice cake - can try doing that the next time. :)
DeleteYour cake looks nicely browned and moist!
ReplyDeleteThe texture of your cake looks lovely and moist. You and Joyce have fortresses!
ReplyDeleteLovely cake & I 've the same texture as your cake when I baked it last week. But to bad it's a bit burned or too brown!! LOL
ReplyDeletei love almonds add in baking, your cake sound good !
ReplyDeleteNever tried to scatter the almond flakes at the bottom and sides. Yup, do agree with you that scattering on the side can be challenging.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get the almonds to stick as well! But you did a really good job as you manage to get so many of the almonds to stick! I got really lazy in the end and just reserve about 1/2 of them for the top... haha. Your cake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteChris, the cake look so evenly brown and delicious! (: and is so pretty to coat the sides and bottom with almond! something new (:
ReplyDeleteThrough this event, am also learning from fellow bloggers.
DeleteI am sure this cake is delicious as the crispy almonds will add a new dimension to the cake.
ReplyDeleteYes, it gave the added crisp of almonds.
Deletenicely browned cake...love this!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks moist and soft. I've not tried baking this yet, think I might have the same challenge too.
ReplyDeleteI gave up the challenge and scatter them at the bottom and top of cake instead!:(
DeleteHi Chris,
ReplyDeleteNice to have you baking with at THB. Unlike mine, I see lots of almonds in your cake. Like the idea of scattering the almond flakes on the top of your cake.
Hi Zoe
DeleteThat was because those at the sides kept falling, so I decided to scatter them at the bottom and top of cake! haha
