Instructions
For The Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place all cake ingredients in a bowl and use a hand mixer to mix throughout.
- Add oil of choice to a paper towel and wipe the edges and bottom of a 6 inch non-stick pan. I still add the oil despite being labeled as non-stick.
- Pour half the batter into the pan and bake for 30 minutes OR until it passes the fork trick.
- Let the cake sit for 10 minute and flip upside down. The cake should fall out.
- Wipe the pan of any access crumbs and wipe the pan of oil of choice again and repeat baking steps.
- Once both cakes are cooled add frosting to the top of one cake, stack the second cake and add frosting to the top and sides.
- Optional : Sprinkle almonds on top.
For the frosting
- Place all ingredients in a bowl except almonds and mix with a hand processor until the frosting consistency forms.
- Enjoy !
