Oh... thanks for that tip... I've not yet tried it with anything besides peppermint and kahula (but my oven was too hot and it was no good anyways  but I fixed that!  )

Ut oh, I wonder if I should still try it or sub vanilla in instead! If it is an 'acquired taste' type thing Chris may not like it. Darn, and I already bought the almond extract- have no idea when I will ever use it!
has anyone tried the almond and LIKED it? I know Brittany said she made different variations...
Maybe I will make a 'plain' one, then experiment later

Well I decided I wanted a change from the peppermint in the Peppermint Fudge cake and so I just used additional vanilla in place of the peppermint oil - and the nice thing about vanilla is that you just can't ever seem to use too much!
Then I made another variation one time where I used the vanilla but added some dairy free chocolate chips...mmm I had some today and it's fabulous. I also made a glaze for the top different from the one in the recipe and just used my Chocolate Rice Milk and mixed it with confectioner's sugar - that was also very good.
Then I haven't tried this, but chocolate and orange are such good flavors together that adding orange oil instead might be quite good.
I agree with you all though that the almond extract is a little hard to get into. I like it in some stuff but it's a little overwhelming in stuff like this.
Sheri - As for your almond extract that's just laying around now, maybe make coconut macaroons?? That's what I generally only use it for and they are quite good! Just a thought.
Good luck!!

I think I am gonna stick to the vanilla this time to make sure I don't wind up with something yucky 
I think I will leave out the chips this time, I have chips sitting around and haven't used them yet though. It seems that anything solid chocolate or strong chocolate (like ADBs), even without dairy gives me ---caution! TMI coming!--- chocolately poos and it is very annoying and takes about three days to get rid of. That is why I am attracted to this cake, it seems to be made with little chocolate.
maybe I can garnish with chips... hmmmmm... Oh and Brittany your icing idea sounds great! If I use it it will be with choc soy, though.

how much Kahlua did you use?
I replaced the vanilla & peppermint with the Kahlua....but it really was not enough flavor... not sure how much more you could add without messing it up?
