Loved it. I doubled the recipe and used a regular cake pan. However, I think it needs a little more citrusy taste... I used 2 different glazes... First, I used a bit of butter mixed with Tia Maria (I wanted to use brandy but didn't have any on hand) and orange juice and sugar. It's a bit watery, but it soaks into the cake and makes it taste amazing. Then, on top of that, I mixed confectioners sugar with a little bit of the first glaze to give it more of an icing constistency, and poured that over the whole thing. It was a huuuuge hit with my fiance's family.

I made this recipe for a baby shower gathering. I borrowed a friend's bundt pan, which is a standard size. It didn't even occur to me the recipe was to serve 6. (What cake ony serves 6?)The cake mix barely filled the pan. It was the tiniest cake ever. I followed the directions exactly on the cake, but my mother needed to alter the glaze by thining it down. She thought it was too thick to drizzle. All in all it turned out nice, but I was still surprised how little the recipe made. I had to back it up with 2 other desserts.

I followed the instructions exactly and the cake was perfect.My son said he thought it was too sweet but that was due to the glaze, not the cake itself, because I hadn't made the glaze properly. My egyptian inlaws (who are excellent cooks) loved it. The best recipe I've had for a long time,thanks Melissa

This turned out really good. The almond scent is stronger than the taste of almond. I only didn't give it 5 because I wanted a more orange taste, and was hoping the grated rind would provide that. My test subjects (co-workers) liked it alot and said not to change anything. I'm sure it's just personal taste.
