Even though my Birthday was quite a few weeks back now I feel like I have to blog the delicious cake and recipe which I need to save here just in case it enters the World of Lost Recipes one day.
Introducing Flourless Almond Cake
Recipe given to me by Anne (no blog) some years ago now and it is well and truly used

I found this French Caster Sugar sourced from Champagne-Ardenne which was really sparkly (above and below) and whipped up beautifully.
For information on French Caster Sugar go over here
All stirred and whipped ready for the oven
And about ready to blow out the candles
Hip Hip Hooray
Note.....wearing Fat Quarter in hair by Anni Downs (range 'Kiss Under the Mistletoe')
I find fat 1/4's easier to wear than regular headbands as I usually have one to match
I just go to my stash lol!!!

Isn't that amazing that you can make such a lovely dessert sans flour? I recently came across a great recipe as well on one of my FAVORITE food blogs, SUGAR ET AL...go visit Sonali (she's in your country!) and see her flourless chocolate cake!
Happy belated birthday dear friend! Anita
