      This cake is so easy and quick to make and it is so good. My background is Portuguese and I love making traditional recipes, my mom loved it and it is definitely a keeper. It is not too sweet and the syrup makes it moist. I accidentally added extra almond extract to the syrup but it didn't ruin the cake at all it just added to it. I wrapped the springform pan in aluminum to prevent the syrup from leaking thru and it helped. Great cake will definitely make it again!

      You are right, I did love it! We enjoyed this with some macerated berries for my grandmother's 92 birthday. I added extra almond extract into the batter because we love it so much. My springform pan let some of the syrup drip onto the floor of my oven, so next time I'll be sure to place some foil under before adding the syrup. An easy recipe that will be made again, and again!

      This is the EXACT cake my grandma used to make when I was a little girl over 40 years ago. There is nothing better on a cool winter evening with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a cup of steaming coffee or tea!

      Made this for a meeting that I attended at a Mental Health Hospital. The guard at the door said that they don't usually let food in (I might have baked a knife or some drugs into it) but if I would give her a sample she'd let me take it in. She liked it so much she almost confiscated my cake!! Sage - this is a great cake and very flavorful!! The folks at the meeting loved it and I know I'll make it again - wonderful flavor and texture!! Thanks for a winner!!

      This cake is delicious! I love the flavor added by the almond syrup! In my opinion it is the key to the cake! I only had a 10 inch springform pan, so mine turned out a little thinner that it should have. Maybe that helped get the almond flavor into every bite! Thanks for posting such a wonderful dessert! Made for ZWT3.
