A tantalizing treat if ever I saw one, with a bright rich cake and even more gorgeous Almond buttercream delicately swirled between the layers. Treat yourself this once, I dare you ;) Perfect for EasterEveryone seems to be in a Hype about them so I thought I'd give them a go. This recipe was from a magazine I had and although the cakes were very thick, they tasted fantastic and I would definitely make them again. I thought plain cream was a little boring so I added a bit of awesomeness!
