Flourless Almond Honey Cake

We moved to a new house a few days ago. Actually, just down the road. Everything had to be packed anyway, no matter how far the truck was going in the end. I was trying not to buy anything unnecessary in the days before the move. Even food. However, we still had to eat. What could be better than a cake with only three ingredients?
I had a couple of half empty honey jars in the pantry, so they had to be used up before the move. The rest is simple and straightforward: freshly ground toasted almonds combined with the honey and held together by a few egg whites (these also needed to be cleared from the fridge before the move). That's all it takes. The result: the most delicious nut cake I had in a long time. Honey and nuts are a match made in heaven. Honey and nuts is all you taste in this cake. Gluten free, no added sugar and simply yummy at the same time!
