Fondant Icing Cake’s Preparations:

Preheat oven to 350°F
Mix the butter and sugar in a mixer bowl until light and fluffy
Add the eggs one at a time, keep mixing until all eggs are added
Add the almonds flavorings to the mix, followed by the flour with baking powder and salt
Add flour mixture alternately with milk, starting with the flour
Spray pans with vegetable pan spray and pour in the mix
Bake until a wooden skewer comes out clean (I rather use a skewer rather than a toothpick after I burnt my hands several times using a short toothpick…)
Cool for ten minutes in the pans, and the cake is ready for you to loosen the sides and remove the pans
Let the cake cool completely before you start the fondant icing

This recipe makes around 8 cups of batter which will give you two 8″ round cakes. (The amount of fondant you get by following my fondant recipe is enough to cover two 8” cakes with a little fondant left for decorations)
