Our first recipe for the year long alphabet challenge is almond cake for letter A.\u00a0 Years ago when my kids were in elementary, there was a homework club offered free at a local church, with volunteer tutors assigned for kids who wanted\/needed some extra help.\u00a0 A friend and her kiddo who was in my daughter’s class also attended those Wednesday night get-togethers.\u00a0 There was always some dinner and a goodie provided during the tutoring time, and usually families tagged along.\u00a0 We could sign up to help with the dinner and goodies, a great community function.\u00a0 My friend used to make large batches of these decadent cakes (almost a blondie), to give as gifts during Christmas time.\u00a0 Needless to say, we requested the recipe!\u00a0 This is just slightly adapted from her original recipe but it’s still simple; throw it all together and come out with a pretty and tasty dessert!\u00a0 This are a great, slightly chewy, bar-like “cake”.\u00a0 (My changes in italic.)<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
I brought this cake down to family for Christmas and it very quietly and quickly disappeared within 24 hours.\u00a0\u00a0 It was enjoyed plain off that plate and also warmed in the toaster oven with a little butter, not that it needs that!\u00a0 (I was also asked, this recipe is on your blog, right??)<\/div>\n
