ALMOND CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE COATING

Easy vegan Almond Cake with Chocolate Coating and topped with sliced almonds. So soft and delicious, vegans and omnivores love it!

If you like almonds as much as I do, you have to try this cake – because this cake is pure almond goodness! It has ground almonds and almond milk in the cake itself and it is topped with even more sliced almonds.

I love adding ground nuts to cakes (and muffins and pancakes) because it does not only add a nice flavor but also lifts up the texture.
