Gorgeous Gluten Free Brunch Cake for Mom

Even if your mom isn't gluten free, this nourishing and delicious cake is treat for all! There is a bit of sweetener in the form of  1/4 cup of molasses, which still has minerals and fiber in tact, so it won't produce a hefty spike in blood sugar. The quality fat and protein from the eggs, nuts, flax meal, coconut, and hemp seeds make it a nutrient dense and delicious snack for later.

3/4 cup almond meal flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions: Pour the batter into a prepared 10x13-inch baking pan and spread evenly.
