Fun recipe to bake for the fall! The buttercream frosting is my favorite part. I like to use Miyokos butter, and let it sit on the counter to room temperature. For the powdered sugar, you can use regular or Lakanto monk fruit if you want a lower sugar option. This recipe can be make 100% nut free by using coconut or flax milk instead of almond. (Tigernuts aren’t actually nuts!)
