Raspberry-Almond Coffee Cake by Patricia Telesco
Almonds are commonly know today as wedding favors; in ancient times they
Were used abundantly in folk remedials, especially for sleep and headaches.
The air-like qualities of this nut, when combine with the water element of
Raspberries, allows abundant love to sprinkle like rain, encourages health,
And expresses joy
