1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted until very light brownPrepare 1 recipe of Seven-Minute Frosting. Cool.
Beat 1 cup of heavy cream. Flavor with 1 tablespoon vanilla and continue to beat until quite stiff. Fold the cream into the cooled Seven-Minute Frosting and blend thoroughly.
Spread this frosting between the layers of any favorite cake, over the top, and down on the sides. Cover the top and sides of the cake with 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted until a very light brown.
