Rice and Almond Ring Cake

Ring Cake rice and almonds, so we can safely say gluten-free. But it’s so good, light, and butter-free, practically for everyone! I found this sunbeam-shaped mold fantastic and this ray of sunshine a good omen, a fantastic cake with almonds for Palm Sunday. You’ll see how easy it is to prepare the rice ring cake, of course, I’m talking about rice flour and almonds and having the house filled with an intoxicating aroma. Maybe it’s because I love almonds and all sweets including savory dishes that contain them, but the ring cake is truly soft and melts in your mouth.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
