This is a great recipe for those of you with allergies to gluten and dairy. Unfortunately, it isn’t sugar free but it IS gluten and dairy free. The best part is there are only 3 ingredients used in this entire cake! With such few ingredients, it is surprising that it even looks like a cake and not more like an omelette but trust me, it does work.
The texture is a little different to a normal cake but I guess it depends on how fine your almonds are ground. Regardless, it is a fantastic cake that is great to keep in the freezer and it is even better served with custard.
This recipe is from my eBook called ‘3 ingredients or less – 18 sweet treats to satisfy your taste & budget’. It can be purchased for $4 from www.foodbefore5.com.au
