I served this to my extended family (23 people at Easter and everyone LOVED it. I served it as a strawberry shortcake with fresh cut strawberries and whipped cream.

I made this beautiful cake along with the almond cream-cheese icing recipe and my husband said it was the best cake he had ever tasted! I agree! I took pieces of it for my co-workers to try and they raved about it. The combination of almond and orange is now my favorite (now I even use a little almond extract in my orange cupcake recipe. I also found out a local bakery uses the orange-almond flavor combination in their holiday Spritz cookie recipe! The texture of this cake is just right - dense and yet not overly heavy - a very fine texture. Be careful tho - I could not control myself - I kept sampling the cake batter - it was addicting!
