My almond angel cake

and it’s gluten-free and dairy-free

It was Jack’s birthday and I hadn’t had a chance to think about making a cake. I didn’t have flour, but I did have almond meal and plenty of eggs (thanks to our chickens). So I decided to make a cake with almonds, eggs, sugar, lemon zest, and apple. It turned out to be light and fluffy, like a sponge or an angel cake. It’s also gluten-free and dairy-free (but you can’t tell) and it’s very quick to prepare. We loved it so much that we’ve made it three times, each time using different zest, fruit, and spices.
