Yum! This was so good. I was going to have it with tea and make lemon butter or a lemon cream cheese frosting for it, but I had a taste and didn't want to wait! I had 1/2 a slice right after it cooled, and another 1/4 slice just now. I'm not sure if it's very filling, or if I just don't have much of an appetite today.
I woke up to find 3 slices missing. My low-fatting mom says she had one slice, and took two to work for a coworker. A likely story.
This recipe has so many possibilites! I replaced half of the Splenda with a tablespoon of vanilla SF syrup to lower the carb count. At the store I saw vanilla nut butter flavoring. Next time I'll use that instead of the lemon extract, and I'll drizzle a mixture of vanilla and hazelnut SF syrup over the top of the cake instead of the lemon juice. For something more like pound cake, I could grind the almonds finer, use butter extract, and drizzle butter over the top.
Thank you, Demi. You've created a monster.
