Love me some almond cake! My Swedish mother-in-law makes a fabulous one every year at Christmas - but I still trying to get the recipe from her!
Looks delicious! I like the idea of adding chocolate sauce.
A lovely cake! Perfect with a good cup of tea.
Cheers,

That cake looks like it would be a great treat in the afternoon or dessert after a lovely dinner. I have a linky party going on at my blog called "Sweets for a Saturday" and I'd like to invite you to stop by and link this up.
