Banana Lemon Poppy Seed Cake
Sometimes I find pre ground almonds very convenient because my food processor does not make flour out of nuts. But for certain recipes, I prefer grinding my own almonds because it gives a very different texture to food. When I tried this cake with almond meal, the texture turned out very different and soft. By using whole almonds and grinding them yourself, you give this cake a really nutty kick.
