How long do I soak the almonds for?
ooo! i have a raw friend! now i can make him a cake... i have made things like this before, but they didnt come out *nearly* as pretty as this picture
I've made this cake with and without the dehydrator. Try putting it in the fridge overnight to set it, this works well. All the dehydrator does in that short amount of time is help it to keep it's form. If you make a single layer cake you don't need it at all.
This recipe sounds so interesting and good, but I don't have a dehydrator. Is there a way to achieve the same texture without using one?
