I love this almond marble loaf cake. Almond milk and roasted almonds, combined with the best cocoa powder, give a special taste and a softness that lasts a few days.
The choice of flour is crucial as ever in every dessert. I love Kamut flour and here I’ve paired it with almond flour. A perfect combination.
Dates syrup is the sweetener in this recipe. The date syrup is a concentrate of beneficial properties. Native to Mediterranean Africa, Israel and western Asia, it is rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, calcium, sulfur, iron, sodium, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, B vitamins (B1, B2 and B6), vitamin A and Vitamin K. Dates are useful for the intestine, heart, for those suffering from anemia and other diseases. Its juice, with a delicate taste, is suitable for many culinary preparations.
