Very moist, nutty bite, sticky top and zesty taste!A delicious mini cake recipe to impress your guests with very little efforts. Using GF flour, opting for olive oil instead of butter and very little sugar, this cake will take out most of the guilt of indulging in this mini dessert or afternoon snack! The flavours of orange (juice and zest), cardamom and pistachio will leave you wanting more, though...Side note: I used Grass-fed whole milk, but if you want to make this recipe dairy-free, you should definitely swap it with coconut yogurt!It won't change much...
