#COOKING: CHERRY-ALMOND CAKE RECIPE

Cherry Almond Cake. We love a good, simple cake. And Cherry-Almond is one of my favourite nostalgic flavour combinations. This one is timely and festive. Ensure you use organic and pure flavourings, as extracts labelled “imitiation” flavouring can ruin it all. Enjoy this crunchy, crumbly, buttery perfection which would fit right into your Holiday baking rotation!
