For a simple yet very sweet addition to your cheese board or dessert spread, Sweet Laurel’s Fig Almond Cake is perfect!  With a slight hint of cinnamon, and natural sweetness of dried figs, the taste is heavenly.  This cake is raw, therefore no oven is required, making this the perfect summer treat.  I often travel with this cake, as it’s nutrient density makes it perfect for snacking when you need quick energy.   Enjoy!
