Scandinavian Almond Cake is so simple

​Hello, everyone!  The sun is shining and the air is fresh and warm...it’s almost Easter.  Hard to believe after a long, dreary winter.  It’s time to celebrate spring whether you celebrate Easter or not.  But part of the fun is enjoying treats that you wouldn’t normally have.  Which brings me to one of the topics in health coaching...joy!  Of course, it’s good to maintain a healthy diet and an exercise regime, but sometimes you just need a treat.

​I have attached a recipe that is sure to bring you joy, and it will not have you overwhelmed by multiple, complicated steps or a long list of ingredients to seek out in the grocery store.  This recipe for Scandinavian Almond Cake is so simple, and every time I bring it to a gathering, I always am asked if I could share the recipe.
 
            The only thing you will need to get is a special pan.  Just search Scandinavian Almond Cake Pan in the Amazon search bar and you will find this at a reasonable price.  You’ll want to break it out for many different occasions.  Just make a few copies of the recipe to be prepared for the inevitable requests for you to share it.  Enjoy!
