This is defintely quick, easy and very tasty too. I made this for a cake social and decided to use white frosting instead of the glaze for looks only. I purchased a piece so I could try it out and loved the cake but next time will make it with the glaze and/or some whipped cream. The frosting was just a bit too much. I love the addition of the almond extract, it really gives the flavor an extra touch. This recipe is a keeper!

I have made this cake many times. I don't use the glaze. It is moist and delicious with out it. I serve with a dollup of whipped cream.
