Cardamom Peach and Hazelnut Cake is an assault on the senses. Biting into the nutty texture of the hazelnut, and the succulent fruity peach and sensing the aroma of the cardamom – l love this dish because it feels effortless… It makes a great afternoon snack as I sit at my desk at work ready for a nice cup of tea. Hope you love this dish just as much as I do. I wanted to try something different to the raw sugar cane and so have adopted organic stevia as an alternative.
