Who needs the gadgets.<br /><br />Tumbleweed Woman, I bought that plate for a performance art piece I was planning that never quite came to fruition (long story). It still works well with almond cake.<br /><br />Michele, It's easier than I made it sound. You should make one.<br /><br />countingdandelions, Check! No, nothing wrong at all.<br /><br />Camilla, Anytime. Just call when you are on your way.<br /><br />Julia (Color Me Green), Hmmm. There must be a way. I'm no baker, but what about ground almonds? Almond flour?<br /><br />Christine, My springform pan has apparently lost its nice snug fit. Some people line with foil to avoid this, but I wasn't even aware of the issue and my batter started dropping onto the bottom of the oven and making almond pancakes. The cakes started to burn, I smelled the burning, and the party was over. I transferred the warm batter to a small rectangular Pyrex pan thinking the cake would be a big flop. But no, it turned out to be tasty. Lucky me.<br /><br />gracia, Thank you.<br /><br />Amelia & Jen, Have you tried it yet?<br /><br />lavienouveau, Thank you. It was a very simple, yet pretty cake.<br /><br />flwrjane, You'll have to wait until it cools down to make one for yourself. Put it on any old plate, it will still be tasty.<br /><br />Annie, Enjoy Chicago.<br /><br />Mary-Laure, Thank you. It was very good.<br /><br />Lisa, Thank you. It's a great recipe, even though my road was a little rocky. You should give it a go.<br /><br />M., You are correct. I made it without the gadgets!<br /><br />Anna, I hope you've made it and are enjoying a slice this eve.<br /><br />Julia, Thank you. No problem. Mine too.<br /><br />Katrina, Thanks. See my note above to Tumbleweed Woman regarding my plate.<br /><br />Carolyn, The ingredient list is brief. You can whip one up quickly and have a fresh slice in front of you tonight.<br /><br />D. Oh, I exaggerate. It was well worth it.Denise | Chez Danissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418226690328176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-82413787871661744062010-07-16T14:27:57.602-07:002010-07-16T14:27:57.602-07:00Who would have known the cake was so strewn with p...Who would have known the cake was so strewn with problems along the way?
