Recipe Notes
(*1) You can use vanilla extract in place of the almond however I’d strongly recommend using the almond. It really does make a difference. Use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract as it isn’t as strong as almond extract. (*2) If you are using a fruit that needs to be cut up, cut it into bite size pieces to be heaped randomly over the top of the cake or slice thinly to be arranged in a pattern. (*3) You can use any non-dairy milk of your choice for the icing however the coconut milk adds a nice rich flavor that highlights the fruit.
