This island honey cake is so delicious! It’s also super natural and healthy, still a treat, just healthier. It’s made with almond flour and is gluten free, it’s also made with coconut sugar and honey so it’s refined sugar free as well. It’s super moist and flavorful! I serve it along side some pineapple, mango and optional whipped cream or coconut cream. It’s so decadent and delicious!

This cake is also pretty quick and easy to make, taking about 40 minutes prepped, baked and ready to serve. It tastes delicious warm or cold and leftovers will last for about a week.
