Ruby glazed cake

There’s probably no bigger joy than the one of a perfectly baked cake... with ruby! This cake recipe is based on powdered almonds and lemon zest, simply because they combine greatly with the taste of ruby. The soft glaze isn’t sticky and guarantees your cake to stay in perfect shape for days. On top, the ruby glaze protects your cake and prevents it from drying out.
