Almonds. One of the most perfect foods. Seriously, I keep a bag full in my drawer at the office, and if there's a recipe with almonds, or even almond extract (I could sniff that stuff forever!), you can bet I'll be making it. I whipped up this delightful little cake for a dinner party a few weeks ago, and it was a tremendous hit. It's super easy to make, no mixer required, and it is absolutely delicious. I served it with vanilla ice cream and strawberries, but I think the combinations of different fruit and sauces could be endless. Or you can eat it plain. For dessert or for breakfast. Hooray for versatility!

1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, melted
