Blackberry Meringue Cake
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Blackberries score points with provitamin A for the eyes and cell-protecting vitamins C and E. The B vitamins are also valuable because they are involved in many metabolic functions. Together with the almond flour, the berries also provide digestive fiber.
Almond flour has a nutty flavor that is ideal for cakes and desserts.
