Party in our Tummy

This Almond Cake Recipe came from here. It's our favorite recipe so far. I didn't add any fruit or use their icing though. I put about half a cup of honey, a splash of lemon juice and some water in a pot and let it simmer until it was a tad thicker than the honey was in the first place. Then I drizzled away.

Cake Ingredients:

4 Eggs and 2 Egg Whites
2 tsp Baking Soda
½ cup Honey
¼ cup Nut or Seed Oil
½ cup fruit (Apple, Pumpkin, Ripe Banana? Pick one, or none)
½ tsp: Cinnamon, Ginger
¼ tsp: Nutmeg, ground Cloves
4 Cups Almond Flour

Frosting Ingredients:

1 cup Honey
2 Egg Whites

Method:Combine all cake ingredients and bake in two 8” pans at 325 for approximately 40 minutes or until light brown and cooked through.

Once cake has cooled: “Boil honey approximately 10 minutes in heavy saucepan. Honey will turn dark. Beat egg whites until stiff. Pour honey in fine stream into egg whites while beating. Frost cake immediately.
