The recipe for almond cake is not found. Can I modify the Blood Orange Almond Cake for a basic almond cake? If yes, how do I modify the recipe?
Hi Zuleika. Thanks for stopping by
I don’t currently have a basic almond cake recipe. I’d have to work on some development for that. If you’re not using the oranges you would definitely need to substitute with another wet ingredient. Milk or water. You’ve encouraged me to start working on a recipe though, so keep checking back! Thanks again, diana.
