I like it simple and delicious. And this cake from Villa Vegana* epitomises this perfectly! It can be mixed together in no time at all and the oven does the rest.
Soooo easy and quick to conjure up - it's fun!
And the combination of almonds and lemon brings that exotic holiday feeling straight to your tongue.
So, here we go!
