The almond and coconut flours provide a wholesome, gluten-free twist, adding to the cake’s nutritious profile. A blend of warm spices like ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves enhances the flavor, creating a cozy, aromatic taste.
To top it all off, a splash of lime juice gives the cake a refreshing, zesty twist, balancing the sweetness perfectly. The lime zest in the frosting complements this freshness, while the cream cheese and buttercream add a creamy richness without being overpowering.
