"Not sure who Nana Jose is, but this is her recipe. This is an excellent flourless cake made with pecans, garnished with strawberries and blackberries that have been dressed and flavored with limes and brown sugar (or use other berries of choice and/or serve with whipped cream). It is a perfect cake to grace your Passover or Christmas table and to provide a smile for those who need to stay away from gluten."
