Most of the ingredients are on sale at your local grocery store. Around here the best prices are at Price Chopper.

The flavoring, and sugars are available at the Dollar Tree.

The pound cake is a regular item at the Dollar Tree as well and I can tell you it’s the best commercial pound cake I have ever had!

They usually have three different pound cakes and one of them is usually almond. I would get this one or plain it’s up to you.

This is perfect to make while everyone is eating the main course and will be warm and rich when everyone is ready for desert!

Enjoy!
