Almond Cake Recipe

I made this recipe because I was going to a friends house for dinner and they asked me to bring dessert. I wanted to make something grain-free that non-paleo people would love too. So I created this simple almond cake and it was a hit! I topped it with organic strawberries and whipped cream and my friends asked for seconds!

Paleo Almond Cake

This almond cake recipe just makes 1 flat cake in an 9-inch pan, however, you could easily turn this into a layered birthday cake if you double the recipe and split it between 2 round 9-inch pans. Then you can frost them, stack them and decorate them! Enjoy!

    We made this and were a little disappointed
    The texture is actually very nice, but we could taste the ACV slightly..
    Also, it’s a shame recipes neglect to mention whether the oven should be set to fan or not, makes a big difference !!
    We checked ours at 25mins and it was slightly over cooked
    We followed the recipe to the letter.. will give it another shot soon, hopefully it was a one off-anomaly! :))
