Delicious!!!! thank you. I may have overbaked it but still delicious! I am now looking for more salty/savory ideas for this base. I am assuming for vegan that oil would not work as well. Wondering if it has been tried. Would rather not use margarine. Thank you again!

Very lovely and this cake had success among children and adults. I added some lemon juice and salt to bring more flavour. On the second round I added some orange juice and orange peeling instead of lemon juice. Both versions were amazing!

This is another good cake recipe. The potato starch makes this cake dense and filling. The almonds give extra flavor and texture. I also added a little bit of almond extract, about 1/2 teaspoon. I will use this recipe again.
