Add almonds and process on/off, on/off until coarsely chopped. Add vanilla wafers and process until fine. Blend in butter until crumbs are moistened. Press mixture into the bottom and partly up the sides of a 10-inch (3.5 L) springform pan. Refrigerate. *Filling* Place 1/4 cup (50 mL) water in a medium-sized heavy saucepan. Sprinkle with the gelatin and let stand for 5 minutes. Rinse and dry the work bowl and steel knife. Add egg yolks and 1 cup (250 mL) sugar. Process (immediately) until light in colour. Add milk through the feed tube; blend. Dissolve the gelatin over low heat and stir in the milk mixture. Cook over low heat until the mixture begins to thicken. Cool for about 5 minutes. Cut the cream cheese into cubes and add to the work bowl. Add almond extract and liqueur; blend. Slowly add the custard, blend and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl set into a larger bowl filled with ice cubes. (Where I live if you do this sort of thing in the winter you can just fill the larger bowl with snow. H.) Stir occasionally to prevent setting around the outside edges. Cool until the mixture is thick and syrupy. Beat the egg whites with 1/4 cup (50 mL) sugar until stiff. Whip the cream until light and fluffy. To lighten the gelatin mixture, stir 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into it first, then fold in the remaining egg whites and 2/3 of the whipped cream. Turn the mixture into the prepared crust and refrigerate. *Garnish* To the remaining cream add the icing sugar and the 3 tablespoons (45 mL) liqueur. Whip until stiff. Pipe or spoon the cream attractively over the cake. Sprinkle the top with sliced toasted almonds and refrigerate the cake for 2 to 3 hours before serving. Makes one 10-inch (3.5 L) springform pan. Note: This cake can be prepared a day ahead of serving time. It can also be frozen. Author's comment: "Amaretto is said to be the liqueur of love. My father, who is a nothing-too-fancy-type eater, loved this cake so much that he suggested I send some to my bank manager so that he too could enjoy it."

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and salt. Add the toasted pecans, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar and butter.
