The Limoncello and Almond Cake is my husband’s favourite – for the time being 🙂 You’ll need only 7 ingredients and one hour of your time. Not bad right? Also, this cake is completely gluten-free, which makes it the perfect dessert for your gluten-intolerant guests!

To bake this cake I used a 20 cm round Springform cake tin, serving approx. 10 slices of cake.
