This recipe comes from Mrs. Chumie Steinmetz, owner of Kitchen Art in Toronto. She makes these every year for her family Shavuot Kiddush, and when I made them to take the photograph, I fully understood why!:) this cake tastes best when made at least 24 hours before, and freezes really well.

didn't work out so well
The almond extract ruined this. My kids thought it was a Pesach cake. Also, in the picture they look gorgeous but mine came out much higher than these so it was hard to cut them into nice squares.Replies:Oy Aviva. I am sorry for your trouble. Try it with vanilla extract next time and possibly a wider or longer pan.
