Gluten- and Dairy-Free Roasted Cashew Cake image

I was making dinner for my mom one day and I decided to whip up a dessert to accompany it. I didn't know what to do, so I just remembered the roasted cashew flour I had in the freezer and everything sort of clicked together. This cake is simple, yummy, healthy, and moist--everything you could want in a modest cake. You don't have to make roasted cashews if you're really short on time, but it does add a unique and subtle flavor.
