Gather your ingredients for the Glaze
Make sure you toast the almonds a bit, in a frying pan on low for a minute or in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes.
Melt the sugar in a heavy skillet . with the butter.
|
Be careful not to get this too hot. It will turn to candy. |
This looks good
|
Add the cream and mix in.
|
Bring to a simmer |
Add the toasted almonds |
Simmer just a little and take it off the heat. You don't want it to turn into candy.
|
While it is still warm spread the filling on top of the cake. it should pour on and run down the sides.
|
My grandma sometimes would just let streams go down the sides and dry. When the glaze hardens a bit the cake is done.
