Pumpkin Yogurt Cake (Gluten Free)
"I dusted some cinnamon and powdered sugar on top, but please feel free to top with whipped cream or serve as is.
Instead of almond slices, you can also use almond meal, but almond meal is more expensive and gets oxidized sooner. You can save money by using almond slices.
