Wonderful cake for kindergarden

Today I am excitedly preparing for a cocktail party for all the parents in Susanne’s kindergarden class (that is what they call preschool in the British system). We are having it catered, because I’m not a glutton for punishment, but I decided last minute that I wanted a little “dolce” to see people off this evening. The catered had already shopped, and having this idea of a sweet treat at the end of hors d’oeuvres, I decided to make the cake I asked him to make: Citrus-Almond Cake.

Well, I’m here to tell you, this is a solid winner. And easy, to boot. It does take time, but if you are puttering around the house, this is a perfect cake to whip up for any occasion. In fact, I was thinking this recipe would make delicious little Christmas cakes made with Mandarins, Tangerines, etc… any citrus fruit would be great. I used all lemons, and it is fabulous!
