This Almond Cream Cake has a lovely light and velvety texture and is really moist and creamy. It’s paired beautifully with a homemade cooked and whipped frosting and is sure to be well received at any gathering. I do love the taste of almonds in my sweets. It’s such a nice complement to the taste of cream and sugar. This cake really has a rich flavor, yet it manages to be so light and moist, too… just heavenly, in my opinion.

There is a TON of frosting involved – which, in my opinion, is a good thing!However, if you’d prefer a thinner frosting layer you can simply just halve the ingredients for that one. That’s really a matter of personal preference, though. I loved the flavor of the cake and I could eat on frosting alone, so no amount is too much for me…

Quick tip: If you’d like a thinner layer of frosting, halve the frosting ingredients.

If you want a cake that is simple to make but moist, buttery, and all-around yummy, consider trying Elvis Presley’s Favorite Pound Cake. You have to give the cake a little time to cool, but with only 20 minutes of active time, it’s a low-hassle recipe and well worth the wait. Just put on an old record and the time will go by before you know it! Elvis had some interesting tastes, but he knew good comfort food when he saw it. He also knew how to sing like an angel 🙂

Give this pound cake recipe a try, and it may just become your favorite, too. After all, how could you dislike something that The King of Rock’n’ Roll himself endorsed? This cake is so versatile you could tone it up or down depending on the occasion. My favorite way of serving it is with plenty of white sugar frosting!

You can’t go wrong with white sugar frosting!

If you are looking for something festive to serve at a party or just want an extra-special treat for the little ones, this Candy Corn Layer Cake is an excellent choice. It’s filled with that sweet and buttery flavor of the original candy and topped off with a creamy chocolate frosting.

I don’t know about you, but Halloween is something of a big production at my home. Basically, we go all out on the orange and purple lighting, ghosts, skeletons, and cobwebs and have a haunted house for the month of October. I think that it’s a fun, safe way to let the inner child express itself–and something nice for the neighborhood kids to look at. With all of the spooky scenery, I enjoy having a festive sweet treat or two. This candy corn cake was the perfect thing for our Halloween party – but the kids immediately told me they are going to want this for every party now on…

If you want a chicken recipe in which the sauce is a bit thinner and less cheese-heavy but still want something fairly creamy, and you appreciate the zesty flavor given by a little lemon juice (and the extra savory flavor that leaving the skin on gives the chicken), this Baked Lemon Butter Chicken is an excellent choice.  You can have it prepped and cooked in under an hour. One has to admire chicken for its versatility.  And though there are plenty of recipes for boneless, skinless chicken that I love, you can add a lot of flavor to the right recipe by leaving the skin on.

I thought adding spinach to this recipe was a nice touch, but that delicious lemon butter sauce would also make for a nice topping for any crisp green vegetables you might like to have on the side.  I think that this chicken also goes nicely with some wild rice.
