Honey-almond Cake

No flour and is Gluetin free…  This is a cake for me…  I will be making it this weekend and trying it out… Got great reviews from JustAskBoo…

1 1/2 cups whole almonds, toasted
4 large eggs, room temperature and separated
1/2 cup honey, plus 2 tablespoons for the topping
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9″ springform pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the paper. Finely grind the whole almonds in a food processor or blender (yields approximately 1-3/4 cups). Beat 4 egg yolks, honey, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Add ground almonds. In a separate bowl, beat 4 egg whites until foamy, but not stiff enough to hold peaks. Gently fold egg whites into the nut mixture. Pour batter into the pan and bake 28 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes. Remove the side ring and cool completely. Drizzle top of the cake with honey and sprinkle with sliced almonds just before serving
