We are in the middle of the holidays and you might have some free time to bake and have some guests coming over for coffee.
Here is a gluten free cake with a base based on dry coconut flakes that is possible to make also as a non milky.
I bake it every year at this time of the year, memories of my Mom’s kitchen.
Easy to make and never fails.
