We were invited for dinner at a friend's house and she served us this wonderful cake for dessert. I found this recipe and Chow . I have yet to try making it myself to see if it works. Will probably add a review if it turns out great. Ingredients:
2 cups brown sugar |
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons grated orange rind |
1/2 teaspoon allspice |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup sour cream |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
1/2 pint whipping cream |
2 tablespoons icing sugar |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
2 tablespoons grand marnier (or cointreau) |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Combine the brown sugar, flour, butter, salt, orange peel and all-spice in a medium size bowl.
