I made this cake for a family dinner. My adult kids loved it as did my husband, The combination of cream cheese, almond extract and brown sugar made it absolutely delicious!

I didn’t use the yellow food coloring. Otherwise no change. I found it a bit heavy (but hello pound cake). It was good, but it will be a while before I make it again.

Very easy to make and delicious! My only change I may make next time would be to maybe use less brown sugar in the bottom of the pan…a lot of it stayed in the pan after flipping it out. Other than that this is a keeper-yum! Thanks for sharing ??

No changes! And I’m making another one.

I baked at 350 for 45 minutes as stated and was still raw inside, put back and cooked for a total of 65 min like for a pound cake and turned out good.
