This is the cutest cake ever! I love this Peek A Boo Vanilla Almond Pound Cake recipe. It is totally worth the extra effort. I’m not going to fib this takes a bit of work and patience but it is so cute and the slices make you smile when you see them.peek a boo cake surprise inside

This Peek A Boo cake or Surprise Inside Cake has a heart in it. That is because I used a heart cookie cutter and red food coloring to make it pink. How adorable would this be for a little girl princess or tea party? The guests would absolutely swoon. This can easily be switch to a pumpkin/apple inside during the fall or a flower for the summer.

I love this cake and will be baking this for many years to come!
