1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons GF Pumpkin Pie Spice

Pinches of fresh grated nutmeg, to taste

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

2 large happy free-range organic eggs, room temperature

1/3 cup extra light olive oil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a 10×12-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment.

Process the almonds in a food processorDescription: http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=recipfromaglu-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B00004S9EM by pulsing on and off until a fine almond meal is formed. Pour the almond meal into a dry mixing bowl. Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt and spices and whisk to combine.

In a clean mixing bowl beat the eggs till light and fluffy; add the olive oil, light brown sugar, banana mash and vanilla. Beat well to incorporate.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet mix and beat for two minutes.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake in a preheated oven for 33 to 35 minutes until done. Check the center for doneness with a wooden pick. The cake should appear slightly golden brown at the edge, firm to a light touch.

Cool the cake completely on a wire rack.

This fragrant cake is very moist and slightly chewy from the almond meal. It’s lovely with tea for an afternoon snack. And it freezes well for future snacking. I slice and wrap each piece in foil, then store them in a freezer bag. Serves ten to twelve.
