If you’re cutting down on sugar and carbs, this ricotta almond cake made with almond flour (and a little coconut flour to keep it light) is delicious. Helpful for diabetics, keto and just children-near-bedtime, it’s also a classic Italian cake that’s great for mornings with coffee as well as after dinner. Or maybe even lunch by itself.

All the guys love it, and the kids too! And so will your waistline…plus your A1C number. 🙂
