This flourless almond cake may be the best-hidden secret for a Passover dessert! There are plenty of almond cake recipes on the internet, but most of them use finely ground almonds or almond flour for the base ingredient. This cake uses almond butter instead. The result is a dense, moist cake that is sweet and full of almond flavor. This recipe is also gluten-free, sugar-free and paleo diet friendly. Try it for a new treat during Passover this year.
