Peachy Almond Galette
A beautiful cake any time of year, but a little bit Christmassy. It is gluten free and very more ish. Goes well with loads of ice cream...just saying.
I love marzipan, and when you make it yourself, even better. Who doesn't love almonds with peaches? Roasted peaches are fantastic in dessert! Add some cream or mascarpone and you're in peach heaven. Enjoy. Although this is a bit wintery as a dessert, it cuts really well as a cake and is perfect at Christmas time...peaches are the best right now down under anyway. But don't limit yourself to just Christmas! Really...remember this recipe anytime you need something amazing!
