red cherry currant, mint and almonds for a gluten free cake
I like to use corn meal other than to make the traditional polenta, by adding it to bread and cakes or biscuits. It gives a great crisp taste not to mention a beautiful sunshine color.
I used white almond puree and not complete as I usually prefer to maintain the savor of currants and fresh mint. The almond puree replaces fat.
I reinforced the fresh mint but a drop of essential oil of green mint.
