(And seeing your heavenly orchids!) I have been itching to make an almond cake after seeing Lidia make one Sunday on her show - hers was studded with chocolate chips. Yours is oozing with a sensuous glaze that is drawing me in - this would be a perfect Valentine's Day treat. That seems like a lot of cornstarch to add to a cake, but it must add to its delightful denseness.Barbara GFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570905498600770632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-22514727686082431852011-02-09T09:13:34.519-06:002011-02-09T09:13:34.519-06:00This cake looks lovely and delightful!

In a country that was poor, people only had what they could grow, and the rest they foraged.<br />I love this cake because unlike the French pain de gênes (which I love, don't get me wrong) it is lighter and not as dense. The chocolate couverture is a splendid idea, and marries so well with the almonds.
