Really nice recipe. Next time I will try reducing butter just found it too moist but a hit in the family. Thank you 😊
Really tasty, thanks. Mine needed a lower temp when cooking though and for a little longer as mine burnt on outside and wasnt cooked in the middle. Also next time I need to blend the almonds for longer as the texture was a bit bitsy. I also just used ground nutmeg and it tasted perfect thanks.
The photo doesn't do this cake justice. This cake is brilliant! Love, love, love it! Thanks for sharing it
Yes, one (or two ! ) slices a serve is fine! This cake may be sliced and portions frozen for future decadence !
This cake is decadent!
