Louisiana Crunch Cake

"Setting aside the crazy naming of this cake (it's actually got nothing to do with Louisiana at all), it’s still got a mighty tasty combination of flavors. It’s essentially a buttermilk pound cake covered with coconut glaze. I decided to use this as a starting point, but I added a bit of lemon juice into the cake as well as sliced almonds on top of the cake. Oh, and I added a tiny splash of almond extract to the glaze. The almond extract is my secret ingredient here! In fact, Laura took one bite of this cake and said, “Hey, get back here with that cake…it tastes like wedding cake!” Yup, that’s the almond extract doing its job. This cake is definitely a keeper...especially for these warm summer days!"

Mmmmm, such a wonderfully good cake recipe! Buttermilk, lemon juice, coconut and all sorts of other delicious ingredients combine to make this such a delicious cake. The toasted almonds are an absolutely perfect topping to the glazed cake. Warning when you serve it stand back or you will be knocked over in the rush!
