Use the fresh blackberries and blueberries of summer in this whole wheat and almond flour double berry cake.

This recipe is from The Vegetarian Italian Kitchen (New Holland Publishers)
available from September 19 here.
When I was a child, after a whole summer at the beach, my parents used to end the holidays with a week in the mountains where, they said, we girls would breath in the good air that would strengthen us for the winter. In those weeks, I also remember picking blackberries and blueberries and the sweets we prepared with them.
This cake is a classic that I love to make without sugar and refined flour.
