Almond Cake for Valentine’s Day
Today is Valentine’s Day. The recipe I present today is very easy to do, but it is though a special gift coming from the heart, which can be easily and quickly used as a last minute surprise.
I personally like to surprise my loved ones with homemade gifts. So what do you think about giving this heart to the ones you love?
In the recipe I use almonds. If you are allergic to them or simply don’t like them just substitute nuts for the almonds. Furthermore I use spelt flour in this recipe. If this is not available you can use all-purpose flour instead.
