My delicious recipe that I am sharing with you for the holiday dinner is one that you could serve for dessert, or for a party you may be having over the holidays. It would be sure to impress anyone you gave it to! I loved this recipe, it was pound cake like in texture and had an amazing almond flavor. I shared most of this loaf with my hairdresser. Oh yes, the lucky people in my life that get fed by me because I can’t eat it. I received a message from her later thanking me for the yummy bread. I’m sure if you serve this to your friends you will get the same response!
