Gluten Free Cherry Almond Cake
A delicious gluten free cake, shared with us by Sophia Handschuh from Thermomix Baking Blogger. This recipe comes from her book "Gluten Free Cakes and Bakes." You don't have to panic about what to make when a gluten free friend visits! This cake ticks all the boxes and can be served warm or cold.
Recipe Tester Feedback: “Having never made a GF cake before, I was curious as to how the texture and flavour would be. I was very pleasantly surprised! We loved both the texture and the taste, and found it rich enough that only a small piece was needed so we could go back later for seconds." - Sue
