Raspberry Tea Cake

Raspberry Tea Cake

I LOVE tea cakes with a beautifully brewed tea blend. This tea cake from Earth To Table is gorgeous, light and gluten + dairy-free. Perfect for impromptu get-togethers and celebrations. The pop of the berries is just beautiful, and the moistness of the cake itself due to its core ingredients being almond flour makes it an absolute delight. You can substitute any berry you like in the same measurement, but raspberries are particularly delicious at the moment. Simple to prepare, pretty to look at, and super delicious, my Raspberry Tea Cake is a definite people pleaser!
