We got this recipe from a good friend a couple of years ago. It's real easy to make, and a little lighter than pound cake, but good

Bernie's Almond Coffee Cake

Cream together:
Sugar 3/4 cup
Almond Paste, 8 Oz
Butter, 1 stick

Add:
3 Eggs, one at at time
1 Tbsp. Triple Sec (liquor)
1/4 Tsp. Almond extract

Add, and beat until just blended:
1/4 cup flour
1/3 tsp. baking powder

Preheat oven to 350
8" round pan
25 to 35 minutes, test for done with toothpick.

Bernie suggests serving w/ raspberry sauce, but it's great just by itself too.

(I drop in here fairly often, though I usually just find myself listening in)
