  Sprinkle chopped almonds into a well-greased 10-inch Bundt
  pan; set aside.  Cream butter and shortening; gradually add
  1-1/4 cups sugar, beating well  at medium speed of an
  electric mixer.  Add egg yolks, and beat well.   Add lemon
  rind, juice, and flavorings; beat well.
  Combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.  Add to
  creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending
  with flour mixture.  Mix after  each addition; set batter
  aside.
  
  Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy.  Gradually
  add 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form; fold egg
  white mixture into batter.  Pour batter into prepared pan.
  Press whole almond just below surface of batter.  Bake at
  350 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes or until a wooden pick
  inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool in pan 10
  minutes; remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire
  10-inch cake.
  
  NOTE:   Make Almond Legend Cake every New Year's Eve for a
  fun tradition at your house.  Somewhere hidden in the baked
  cake will be a single whole almond.  Whoever gets the
  almond in their slice of cake, according to legend, will
  enjoy good fortune during the year
