In Spain this recipe is called “Tarta de Santiago” and there’s a cross on it made with sugar.
This recipe can be used to do the base of cakes, muffins, pies, etc. It’s a spongy cake that doesn’t need baking powder, it naturally rises with the egg whites that have to be stiffly beaten.
There isn’t any sugar, fats nor flour, only honey, almonds and eggs, so it’s GAPS diet friendly.
