\nI love Holidays ..especially Spring Holidays..it’s like we are waking up after this long winter nap and all of a sudden..Bam!! there they are  the shining rays of  the sun..real flavors of strawberries and asparagus and mint..and longer days…. and if that isn’t enough to celebrate..along come Holidays that give us a reason to bring friends and family together with incredible dishes. At my house, we  celebrate Easter but I love some of the flavors  of Passover and like to ‘mix things up’.
\nAlmonds are used  in many  Italian recipes and one of my favorite flavors..so if you’re a fan of the healthy almond you will want to make this cake part of your Spring Holiday meal
