Almond Honey Cake – packed full of fresh fresh summer fruit, juicy berries or sweet jam. What’s not to like? This is a recipe that has been so often requested in the past few weeks, I promised to pass it on as quickly as possible. Thus, this week’s Meatless Monday blog post!

There’s so much to say about this cake… You can make it for everyone…low sugar and gluten free. The almonds, packed with protein, balance out the sugar in the honey. And speaking of honey, make sure to buy local honey if you can find it. There’s lots of research lately that shows local honey is good for those of us who suffer from allergies. Those wonderful bees are making honey from the same plants that cause us so much distress during runny nose seasons in the fall and spring. Just make sure to enjoy the honey year-round not just allergy season! If you want to learn more about this subject, here’s a good article to check out: Honey for Allergies

Back to the cake…I think you’ll love it, too. Not too sweet, it can even be a delicious breakfast bread – or for a “pick-me-up” in the afternoon, a small square topped with a handful of blueberries is just perfect. . What’s even better is that it makes good cakes in round, square and cupcake pans. So instead of slicing it in half as I did with the lemon curd below – you can bake pretty cupcakes and top them with the summer’s best fruit!
