French Almond Rum Cake
This French almond rum cake takes inspiration from the classic Gâteau Nantais, and is one of the most elegant and delicious cakes you will ever eat. It's wonderfully moist, with a luscious lemon-almond-and-slight-hint-of-rum flavor that gets better and better the longer it sits--so if you can, make it a day in advance and give the flavors more time to meld together.
