Sometimes packaging can be deceiving. Who would have thought that an almond cake packaged in a pull top aluminum can could be so delicious, convenient and surprisingly elegant?
Biscuiterie de Provence boasts six generations of family-run artisan baking featuring the bounty of the local Provencal countryside. We love the integrity and simplicity of their award-winning, gluten-free D�lice de l'Amandier Almond Cake: pure cane sugar, almonds (32%), AOC Charentes-Poitou churned butter and pure vanilla extract.
The taste is decadently rich yet surprisingly light and not overly sweet. The natural flavor of the almonds and artisan butter stands out beautifully. It's also available in a lightly tart lemon version.
As a matter of fact, aluminum tins are the perfect packaging format. Sealed immediately upon baking, this unique format preserves just-baked freshness and moisture and protects the delicate contents from breakage. Yes, this exquisite cake was baked in France (without the use of any preservatives or artificial ingredients), but you can enjoy it as if it were baked today.
Though the cake is small in size (8 inches in diameter), it'll easily serve four hungry guests. Simply pop the lid, work a knife gently around the circumference of the cake separating it from the can sides and invert. Out pops a gorgeous, elegant cake ready to be presented whole, or cut and dressed in individual portions. It just begs to be topped with fresh fruit and cr�me fraiche, luxurious Amarena Cherries in Syrup, Candied Citrus Cubes, or your favorite sorbet.
