A favourite Mediterranean inspired gluten free cake created by author & recipe developer Sophie Stokes from www.insofiaskitchen.com.au

Ingredients

3 cups almond meal

½ cup gluten free plain flour

½ cup caster sugar

½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed

125g unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon ground nutmeg

½ cup pistachios, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon icing sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 180*C. Grease and line with baking paper an 8” spring form baking tin.

In a large bowl, combine almond meal, flour, sugars, butter and salt. Rub with fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Spoon half of this mixture into baking tin, pressing down to cover base.

With remaining mixture, add eggs, yogurt and nutmeg, beating with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.

Pour wet mixture over base, smoothing out to a flat surface. Sprinkle pistachios over cake and bake until golden and cooked through for approximately 35 – 40 minutes. Cool, sift icing sugar on top.

Serves 8 – 10
