Almond cakes
Cakes
Today I felt like baking and had everything I needed for an almond cake, well, everything I needed for my version of an almond cake. So I baked. <br /> <br />Baking during the summer months is not for everyone. Although we've not quite reached the official season, it is June, and it is cool and grey. Perfect baking weather. This is a big benefit of the San Francisco summers that aren't really summers at all. <br /> <br />I was originally inspired by David Lebovitz. I adapted his recipe the last time I made almond cake http://chezdanisse.blogspot.com/2010/07/almond-cake.html and the cake you see outlined below was inspired by my last. David adapted his recipe from Chez Panisse Desserts by Lindsey Remolif Shere. I've veered so far from David's recipe I hesitate to even drag him into what I've done here. <br /> <br />Why is it so different? My kitchen is very low-tech, I wanted a healthier cake, and I wanted to make less cake. I always make too much cake. I adore the version I've made here, Chris likes it too, but David and Lindsey haven't tried it, yet. <br /> <br />I am sure whipped cream or berries would be nice with this cake, but I like mine plain. <br /> <br />Enjoy.
