I just made this, but replaced the pine nuts with more almonds. Super yummy. Event made up some lemon sugar syrup to pour over. Thanks
This was absolutely delicious.
I didn't roast the almonds and I reduced the sugar to 150g, next time I will also reduce the butter. I made into cupcake size, my friend said it was the best cupcake she had had in a long time. Definitely a winner.
