<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today I got something really special for you. I know, I might have said that a few times before in my previous posts. But this one is really, and I mean REALLY one of my most favorite cakes!<\/span><\/p>\n I am a person who gets easily tired of eating the same things over and over again. I like diversity. For me in order to cook something often, I must seriously love<\/em> it. And this cake is one of them. I don\u2019t know how many times I baked it already. And many more times to follow.. Guaranteed!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n There are so many wonderful flavors packed in this cake, that perfectly represent the Mediterranean! Now imagine almonds, ricotta cheese, lemons.. What more can you ask for?? On top of that, the ricotta adds that extra moist touch.. The eggs surely do their part. Indeed, it doesn\u2019t even need baking powder! Nor any flour, which makes it a tasty treat for those who are gluten intolerant.<\/span><\/p>\n I have tried this recipe with store-bought (peeled) ground almonds. But after grinding the almonds myself (leaving the peel on), I never went back! If you have a powerful blender I\u2019d highly recommend trying it. You can decide if you want them a little crunchy, or turn them into the finest almond flour instead!<\/span><\/p>\n
