Nutritional values

A cake the whole family will love. In addition to its irresistible taste, the cake provides plenty of unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E thanks to the nuts. The healthy fat has a positive effect on cholesterol levels and the heart, while vitamin E acts as a natural blood thinner. Just one egg contains slightly more than 30 percent of the daily recommended daily dose of vitamin A. We need this for healthy eyes.

This cake shows that not only macaroons are delicious as cookies. The Christmas cake always goes down well with a contemplative Advent coffee. So that the remaining hazelnut kernels and almonds keep their smell and taste, it is best to store them in tightly closing containers and use them up as quickly as possible. For example in a delicious almond smoothie.
