Flourless Pistachio and Almond Cake

During Passover, followers of the Jewish faith are forbidden to eat, drink, or own chametz or (chometz) – food that is made from grain (barley, oats, rye, spelt, or wheat) and water and has been allowed to rise. To avoid coming in contact with chametz, people thoroughly clean their homes and living spaces. And this is always a situation where every year we must create replacement solutions and yet being able to enjoy the flavors  of  great cuisine.

A few years ago browsing for inspiration of re-invented dishes for Passover  I fell in love with the newly found Food Republic . A beautiful journal of recipes mostly vegetarian (a lot of them are gluten-free and vegan)  among my favorites  for being family-friendly  perfect for work lunches, weeknight dinners and weekend gatherings. The pisctachio and almond cake was the perfect match .(See gallery above and recipe below). I now  bake this cake all year round ad it's a true delight!

A lush but deceptively light flour less nut cake with a great crumb and texture, this pistachio beauty is gluten free and dairy free. It is a robust cake that travels well and slices even better! Adapted slightly from Australian Women’s Weekly Indulgent Cakes
