MORINGA PISTACHIO OLIVE OIL CAKE - Sun Potion

MORINGA PISTACHIO OLIVE OIL CAKE

A deliciously fragrant and moist cake, with a hint of zest perfectly combined with two of my favorite adaptogens, Moringa and Ashitaba. Ashitaba and Moringa are both a rich source of Vitamin B that aid with digestion and healthy skin, perfect for assisting in overall wellness. This light and summer-y cake is served well with tea or an iced matcha latte.
