A slice of Awesome

Modified from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam. Apart from the cream cheese this recipe is completely Primal.

This cake is very filling so you won’t need a giant slice. It is so good that you could feed it to your most fussy relative without hearing a complaint. Just don’t tell them it’s healthy.
