I made this cake because my husband loves almond, I can say this is the best cake we have ever tasted! Thank you! Gonna be a huge hit for Christmas gifts! Victoria. A helpful hint shredding the almond paste makes it so much better to mix! :

My product was very yellow. I made this last week and half of it is still sitting in the kitchen. When something is very good it tends to only last a couple of days... I followed the recipe and it came out very dry. I love almond paste, and I was hoping this would be a keeper, but for me it won't be unless I find some way to make if more moist.

This is a fantastic recipe! I highly recommend making it. I am a moderately experienced baker though I am the first to admit I don't *love* to bake. I followed this recipe to a T (I used my KitchenAid mixer as specified, I hunted down almond paste and I bought cake flour from a specialty store and found that it came out very well. I've already made this recipe twice and always get rave reviews. Highly recommend.

This cake is delicious! It it light, fluffy, and flavorful. My family really enjoys almond flavored desserts and this hits the mark. It's wonderful.

I have made this cake several times with variations based on ingredients available. I have made it with all flour, when I didn't have cornmeal. I've used almond filling when I couldn't find the paste, and I've used milk or buttermilk when I was out of sour cream.
It's a great cake and makes a lovey presentation in an oval stoneware or casserole dish.

This cake was pretty easy to make and had a really great almond flavor to it. I didn't find the texture to be too grainy or cornbread-like - perhaps those reviewers mistakenly bought regular corn meal. You need to buy finely ground to get a good texture. The overall texture and taste were light, but flavorful. I would recommend this as an accompaniment to a hot cup of tea!

Thiscake is easy to make, has great flavor and great texture. I liked it as it is, but if you want to dress it up, some roasted strawberry sauce over the top would taste good and look beautiful.

Somebody complained about the almond paste being too hard to mix. Just cut it into small pieces and work it with a hand mixer. It's worth the flavor.

This was a very good cake but the thickness reminded me of cornbread. I will make it again but it was not as good as I had hoped.
