My ABSOLUTE favorite thing he has ever made is his Almond Cake. I don't like sweets much - this isn't sweet like any cake you've ever had - but it is INCREDIBLE!!
I finally talked him into giving me the recipe (he usually makes a dozen cakes at a time - so he had to break it down into one cake increments for me).
Jim's Famous Almond Cake
Preheat oven to 325. Grease, paper and flour 1 10-inch cake pans. Set aside.
Cream : 1 C sugar
2 C almond paste
Add: 1 C butter (soft)
Cream on high speed until fluffy.
Slowly add: 6 eggs, beating after each one. Continue beating on med to high speed.
Add: 1 1/4 C flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 C kirsch *couldn't find it - made it without - it's an alcohol
Mix only until combined. Bake in center of oven at 325 until brown and toothpick comes out clean, about 40 minutes in my oven
