Yup! I did it. I managed to take everything we love about Almond Joy candies and turn it into one elegant and delicious cake. Serve this at your next party and your guests are sure to rave.

2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter and sugar and whisk until smooth. Whisk in eggs and almond extract.

3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa powder and whisk until combined. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until mixture just comes together.

Don't have heavy cream or chopped chocolate? Drizzle cake with chocolate syrup.
