• 7 pour batter into cake pan, place in oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.
• 8 cool on a rack completely.
• 9 for the glaze: in a small saucepan, bring sugar, margarine, milk, and cocoa to a boil.
• 10 stir frequently; then reduce heat to a simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• 11 remove from heat and stir for another 5 minutes.
• 12 add vanilla and almond, if using, stir, and immediately pour onto cake.
