Who can resist a moist cake? You can team this almond cake with any fruit in season, especially in summer with apricots or plums. Macerate the tamarillos first as this helps withdraw the juices, which add to the cake’s delicious texture. Always popular, this cake provides sweet-tartness and crunch all in one bite. Serve it with icecream or yoghurt and everyone will be lining up for seconds.
