Directions
- Preheat your grill to 350°F. Close the flame broiler.
- Grease and flour 2 10-inch fluted pans; set aside.
- Prepare cake mixes according to package directions, adding 1 teaspoon almond extract to batter and 2/3 cup slivered almonds.
- Divide batter and bake according to package directions. Let cool 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and cool completely.
- Meanwhile, slowly whisk together powdered sugar, cream, vanilla, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- Tint frosting with orange food coloring until desired colored.
- If necessary, trim flat side of each cake to make even. Place one cake, rounded side down, on a platter. Spread the flat surface with about 1/4 cup of the frosting. Top with remaining cake, rounded side up. Pour icing over the top of the cake and allow to drip down. Top with up-side-down ice cream cone as the stem.
- If desired, coat the ice cream cone in green frosting or pipe on leaves.
