Gluten Free Orange Almond Cake
This was the perfect birthday cake, not too sweet, moist, golden and delicious. What was even better was there was only 1/2 a cup of honey in the whole cake to sweeten it of which I used just a little less. It also had a really nice orange tone to it and would have been really eastern with a bit of rose water added to it as well or adorned with rose petals. As I had neither I stuck to raspberries. I like this cake because it's gluten free, I would love to say it's totally vegan but the eggs really lift this cake more than I think flax meal would. I served this with some home made strawberry lemonade, it was just such a fun combo!
