Source of Recipe

List of Ingredients




1 C butter
2 eggs
2 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 almond extract
3 C plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 C buttermilk

Cream butter, eggs, sugar, vanilla and almond extract. Combine flour, soda and salt together and add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, making sure it's well blended. Pour in a 9 x 13 inch pan, tube pan, or bundt pan (I used a bundt pan) and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Cool and frost with Almond Glaze. Garnish with slivered almonds.

Glaze:
2tsp melted butter
1 tsp almond extract
2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp milk(needs more-about 1 Tablespoon or more)

Frost cooled cake and garnish with slivered almonds

Note: I would think lemon juice instead of milk might be a nice touch in the frosting. Also you could use vanilla instead of almond extract or even orange.
