You are going to DIE when you read how simple and quick this easy almond cake recipe is! You’d think a dessert with the name almond cake would require a long list of ingredients and serious prep and baking time.

Speaking of almonds, if you’re an almond lover like me, you’ll totally want to whip up a batch of this coconut almond chex mix or
Chinese almond cookies. (It doesn’t have to be Chinese New Year to make those, you know.)

These roasted cinnamon almonds are also delightful and make a great neighbor or friend gift during the holidays. Just sayin’.
