Cook the Book: Italian Almond Cake
When it comes to eating cake, sharing is the pits. Instead of slowly savoring a slice, you end up fighting over the last few forkfuls. Who will get the final crumbs? It's a race to the finish. The best thing about today's Cook the Book recipe for Italian Almond Cake, excerpted from Wine Bar Food, is that the batter is divided into either tart pans or muffin tins, and yields 8 to 12 individual servings.
So you can have your very own cake, and eat the whole thing, too.
This recipe makes crumbly, cookie-like cakes that keep well for several days. Enjoy them with any spumante—Italian sparking wines made predominantly from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Pinot Bianco grapes.
