Marble Butter Cake

The almond crust is more crunchy as I pre-cook it before mixing with honey & butter. But I do not understand how come the almond crust cannot be stick well on the cake. Ann do not like the cocoa taste. She said it is bitter. However I believe majority of kids love chocolate flavor so much. She just like the plain one. Next round I have to pour in the toppings to bake together with the cake to let the almond crust stick together. Hopefully it will be more success next round. Looking forward!
