In a medium bowl, mix the almonds, sugar, ginger and cinnamon. Set aside until needed.

I made this last week for a group of friends, most of whom have been gf for decades. Every one of them asked for this recipe including the non-gf folks! It was fabulous! I used an 8×8 pan and I think it would present better in a 9" round pan. It took a long time to bake.
Changes: all brown sugar,used some jarred ginger and the crystalized (we like strong flavors), added vanilla to batter, and realistically, I probably increased the overall amount of spice.
