Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and line an 8 inch cake tin or springform pan with parchment paper.
• In a mixing bowl combine almond meal, chopped walnuts, dried fruit, spices, baking powder, soda, vanilla, salt and lemon zest.
• In a separate bowl, place lemon juice, coconut milk, oil and eggs and whisk together. Add the dry ingredients to wet and fold through with a wooden spoon. Spoon the mixture into prepared tin then press the mixture down into the tin using your hands so that it is compact and tightly packed.
• Bake for 1 hour on the middle shelf of the oven.
• Open oven and placed blanched almonds on top in a decorative pattern and return to oven for 30 minutes.
• Check cake with a skewer and remove the cake from the oven when the skewer comes out clean.
