The Nosh Team - I am not sure on this one as it is so much a part of the recipe, you could experiment with adding more polenta instead of the almonds? I think there may be a polenta cake in our NOSH GLUTEN-FREE BAKING book though, so maybe check that out for some inspiration too. Thanks for the question Minka27 Jan 2019

Minka - Hi, we have multiple allergies in our family, so I need to cook but free as well as gluten free. Is there something I could substitute for the ground almonds and would I need to alter the amount?27 Jan 2019
