A quick update before the weekend to share this lovely, truly delicious, super moist and nutty, flourless almond cake recipe with you. This is the ideal dessert, especially if you are hosting a weekend brunch. It has the perfect balance between coconut and almond, so if you are a coconut lover, this post is for you!
Flourless almond cake is one of those classic recipes you want to always have on hand. Not only is it delicious but as an added bonus, it’s also gluten free. This cake is perfect on its own, dusted with powdered sugar, or if you really want to dress it up, whipped cream.
As promised, here are a couple of photos of our new precious addition to the family, Georgette and her cute big brother, Lucas!
