Frosting Ingredients:

• 8 ounces softened cream cheese
• 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) softened butter

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• In a microwave safe bowl, blend the cream cheese and butter together.
• Add the vanilla extract and milk.
• Slowly add the powdered sugar.
• Once smooth and creamy, pop the bowl into the microwave for 30-45 seconds until the frosting is pourable.

• Using a fork, poke holes into the warm cake.
• Spread 1 cup of the frosting over it.
• Let it sit for 10 minutes.

• Add the toasted almonds to the remaining frosting and spread it on the cake.

• The cake is so light and fluffy!
• The toasted almonds add a great crunchy texture and the cream cheese frosting is just perfect.

• The Almond Crunch Cake is perfect dessert for any time!

Notes:
