Almond & Lemon Cake Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch round springform pan and line bottom with parchment paper. In large bowl, whisk together flour, ground almonds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In separate bowl, stir together oil, sugar, almond milk, lemon zest and juice and vanilla with wooden spoon. In a few additions, add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing well until smooth. Scrape batter into prepared pan; bake until cake tester inserted in centre of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely on wire rack before unmolding and icing.

On medium speed, beat in icing sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating for 45 seconds to 1 minute between additions. Beat in vanilla until combined. Using spatula, spread icing over top of cake to about 1-inch thickness. Sprinkle with pomegranate arils and crushed pistachios. (Make-ahead: Can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day.
