When you bake with almond flour, you don’t have the effect of a carbohydrate overload. Almond flour has 4x’s more protein than rice flour and it has a glycemic index of less than 1. Almonds are very high in potassium and magnesium as well.

Thanks Mom Gabie! You have always been so supportive of me. Love you!
Definitely a family favorite!!! Thanks for all the great recipes.
Maybe too much salt too? I just tasted it again and it seems that the salt may be what is making it bitter. Just checking that the proportions are correct.
Hey Lisa,
Thanks for the heads up on the recipe. When I updated several plug ins and word press, several of my recipes were all jumbled up. I have emailed you the real recipe and I have also updated it on the blog. Now you will enjoy it!
Your cake sounds wonderful! But 1 cup of xylitol sounds like way too much! Isnt it a sweetener? And, do you use organic almond flour?
You can reduce the xylitol to taste if needed. Yes, use organic Almond Flour.
