In reply to Aleesha. Hi Aleesha, thank you for the feedback. I am glad to hear the cake was a hit at the party. And I am sorry to hear it was dense. Usually, dense cakes are a result of overmixing. The egg whites are added in as the last step to help ensure we dont over mix.

In reply to Aleesha. I am glad to hear you tried this! I hope your daughter had a great first birthday. I made a note to make sure the almond extract gets in there.

So had my girls party today. I wanted to give a little feedback for maybe some improvement. There are lots of amazing things two are the raspberry and mascarpone filling! I love lemon and the lemon juice, zest, and extract add a lot of flavor! The cake was really dense though, more like a coffee cake rather than a nice airy cake. I followed the instructions to a “T” and that’s how it turned out for me. It was still a hit at the party and I so appreciate the time you put into this! I love making cakes for my kids birthdays and it sure was fun so thank you!!

So excited! I’m making two cakes for my daughters first birthday, one for her to smash and one for the guests. I didn’t get the almond extract in cause I was following the directions exactly and didn’t see it and always put the cakes in the oven. It will turn out good anyway! Thank you!!!

In reply to bryanna. Hi Bryanna, so glad to hear your cake turned out great!! And yes you are right, the almond extract goes in with the wet ingredients.

I recently made this and it turned out wonderful. Quick question though, I notice the cake recipe calls for almond extract, but the recipe doesn’t say where to add it? Did I miss it? I put it in the wet mix for the cake with the other extracts, can you confirm that this is correct?
