Unfortunately they don't sell Almond Paste in the UK. I can buy ground almonds or marzipan. Does any one have any idea as to how I can adapt this receipe? I think marzipan has more sugar than almond paste - could I remove the rest of the sugar from the receipe to balance or will this upset the chemistry of the cake? This cakes looks delicious!

First I made the strawberry/rhubarb compote. It was so yummy, I tried it with natural bean vanilla ice cream cuz it was too late at nite to make the cake. It was so good, I ate all the compote. So tonite I made the whole recipe WITH cake!!!! It is absolutely outragously deeee-licious!!!!! All my favorite stuff, strawberries, rhubarb, yumm, then my absolute fave almonds and almond paste, the icing on the cake is the Amaretto. THIS IS TRULY A WINNER. Can't wait to try it on my friends, b/c this one's not leaving my house. Thank you so very much for sharing. Okay, let me tell you!!! First I made the strawberry/rhubarb compote.

I think I just lost my mind out of pure joy. I love love love rhubarb. Just the idea of this sweet combination (almond cake? yes please) sent shivers of joy up and down my spine. Often I see a post and think "I want to make that" but never before have I seen a title, a photo, and found myself already with grocery list in hand. WooHOO! GAH!

I used Odesnse almond paste, because it was easy to find. D’oh: A Mary Ann pan looks like this, and seems infinitely useful for single layer cakes with cool toppings.
