Flourless Honey Almond Cake
This flourless honey almond cake has just a few ingredients, is so easy to put together and checks all the boxes. It is warm, comforting, sweet and spicy with a deliciously moist interior with crispy edges. The honey helps to keep this cake moist for several days and the cake tastes better a day after it’s made, when the flavours have had time to mellow. This cake is perfection.
If you’ve never tried a honey cake before, then now is the time to try something new.
Traditionally we eat honey cake on Rosh Hashanah as a symbol of hope for a sweet year to come. All we need now is good health, peace and happiness for this new year.

Are you using almond flour or do you grind your own almonds?
I use almond flour, but you can grind your own, as long as it is finely ground.
Thanks!
I made this cake and I added some raisins and cranberries, I had to leave it in oven 10 minutes extra and bake it at 325 and it is so delicious. I love it with this honey flavor.
Sounds so delicious!
