ARMENIAN NUTMEG CAKE
Armenia is famous for its sweet and spicy nutmeg cake. It has a crunchy base and light cake topping, and tastes delicious. This recipe was given to me 16 years ago by the mother of one of my son's kindergarten friends. Tried and true!

ARMENIAN NUTMEG CAKE - HONIGKUCHEN MARLENKA
Found in an online search for "Honigkuchen Marlenka" and posted b/c it sounds like it would be very good and something very different to make for tea or dessert. Might have to leave the walnuts off since the kids don't care for them. Heck NO! They can pick 'em off! *lol*

ARMENIAN NUTMEG CAKE
I am not sure this is really an Armenian recipe. It was given to my mum by her Armenian friend so we always called it Armenian Nutmeg Cake. It's really quick and easy to prepare. Travels well so good for a picnic.
