<\/a><\/p>\nHere\u2019s the recipe-<\/p>\n
For the pound cake:<\/p>\n
2 Sticks of Unsalted Butter, Softened<\/p>\n
1 Package of Cream Cheese, Softened<\/p>\n
\u00bd cup Almond Cake & Pastry Filling <\/p>\n
1 cup sugar<\/p>\n
4 Eggs<\/p>\n
1 tsp Vanilla<\/p>\n
1 tsp Almond Extract<\/p>\n
1 \u00bd cup AP Flour<\/p>\n
\u00bd cup Almond Meal<\/p>\n
1 \u00bd tsp Baking Powder<\/p>\n
1 tsp Salt<\/p>\n
For the Almond Glaze:<\/p>\n
2 cups Confectioners\u2019 Sugar, Sifted<\/p>\n
\u00bc cup Almond Cake & Pastry Filling<\/p>\n
6 TBS Milk<\/p>\n
1 tsp Almond Extract<\/p>\n
\u00bd tsp Vanilla<\/p>\n
Directions:<\/p>\n
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and spray a bundt pan with Pam, sprinkle flour and spread around pan by shaking it from crevice to crevice and then set aside.<\/p>\n
2. In a mixer, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and almond filling. Pour in the sugar and mix until fluffy and smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing each one until it is incorporated before adding the next egg. Then add in the almond extract and vanilla extract.<\/p>\n
3. While ingredients are mixing, whisk together the flour, almond meal, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this flour mixture into the wet mixture. Mix until just incorporated.<\/p>\n
4. Pour or spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake the cake for roughly an hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before pouring on the glaze.<\/p>\n
I had a little trouble getting the cake OUT of the pan- finally ended up cutting into pieces and placing on a platter and then spooning the glaze over the slices.<\/p>\n
5. To make the glaze: combine the confectioners\u2019 sugar, almond filling, milk, almond extract, and vanilla in a bowl and whisk until it is completely combined and smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake. Let the glaze harden for 15-20 minutes before you cut and serve.<\/p>\n
