3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
3 tablespoons brown sugar or 1 ½ tablespoons Splenda brown sugar blend
2 eggs
1 cup cream of wheat (uncooked)
½ cup ground almonds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 cup water
3 tablespoons brown sugar or 1 ½ tablespoons Splenda brown sugar blend

1
Beat the butter with brown sugar until creamy and until sugar is dissolved in the fat.
2
Add eggs and beat well.
3
Add all other ingredients and mix well.
4
Pour in a grease 8x8 baking pan.
5
Bake at 350F for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
6
Cool ten minutes, then pour hot glaze.
7
To make glaze, mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
8
Simmer for 10 minutes.
9
Pour onto warm cake and set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving.
10
*I like to turn the cake upside down and poke holes with a toothpick, then pour on half the glaze.
11
Turn the cake over, poke holes on top, then pour remaining glaze (keeping most of the zest for the top).
12
I then pour glaze left over at the bottom, back into the pan, then slowly re-pour on top.
13
I repeat until no, or little, glaze is pooled at the bottom of the dish.
14
*I usually add little extra lemon zest, which I grind in the blender.
15
I then set aside most of the zest and grind my almonds in the same container, that way, some of the lemon goes into the cake batter.
16
*I usually bake this in a convection toaster-oven and it is ready in 30 minute rather than 40-50.
