Vanilla Almond Butter Cake

Posted on : October 1st, 2020

It’s the end of September and we all know what that means…fall is officially here! We love fall not only because it means harvest time, but also sweaters, crunchy leaves, crisp air, and all the wonderful autumn recipes our hearts desire. Even better, almonds go with just about any fall recipe in our humble opinion. Sweet, savory…sweet AND savory! But, the number one reason we love fall here at Maisie Janes, is because it means we are that much closer to the holiday season and being around our loved ones.

Today’s recipe is brought to you by one of our favorite (and cutest) bakers to share the kitchen, Maisie’s youngest daughter, Lilia! If you’re having a sweet craving but want something on the lighter side, this cake is for you! We’ve also added our very own Cinnamon Vanilla covered almonds on top for that perfect crunch.
