IKEA’s almond cake is quite a popular dessert at their restaurant. I always end up getting the Swedish almond cake instead of the items I originally had to get when making a trip to IKEA. The thing is, I love to bake so I had to know how to make this. So, after some research I gathered all the ingredients and got started! Let’s make the Swedish almond cake IKEA recipe together!
