I had some frozen blueberries and almond flour sitting around that I needed to use before moving across the country, and this cake was the result! Absolutely amazingly fluffy yet moist, and quite sweet, it fueled a multi-hour bike adventure. Only one adventure because then it was gone…

Let me know if you try making this gluten free! I have a feeling it will work spectacularly, aside from perhaps being a bit crumbly, but I haven’t actually tried.
