Tequila Almond Cake!

While I living in Istanbul, I learned how to cook and bake a lot of different food.  Now some of those food I still make today if I have both time and the ingredients to do so. Okay, so the past year my friend Asia has been asking me to make my Tequila Almond cake for her. The main reason that I have not, until recently, made this cake for her is because she has to have gluten free food.  So secretly I was trying to make it using gluten free flour however it did not taste right.  My advice - stick with the original recipes for certain dishes. When I was living over there, I had to make the cake from scratch, however since I been home, I have learned how to make this cake the short quick way. What you need: mixing bowl (medium size) and a whisk Pillsbury White Cake mix 3 eggs 1/4 cup of Olive oil 1/4 cup of crushed Almonds Jose Cuervo Silver Tequila, 2 separate - 1/4 cups for the cake mix  1 teaspoon of Almond extract For the icing: mixing bowl (small one) and a whisk
