"In the late fifties or early sixties, either Ladies Home Journal or Good
Housekeeping or Better Homes and Gardens had a wonderful recipe for an three
layered angel food cake that had a whipped coffee flavored icing in between
each layer topped by more of the icing with toasted slivered almonds on to.  I
cannot find the recipe my mother had and loved the cake and would love to make
it again.
