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 9inch pan, however, you could easily turn this into a layered birthday cake if you double the recipe and split it between 2 round 9inch pans. Then you can frost them, stack them and decorate them! Enjoy!

You can even make your own almond flour and almond milk for this recipe so it’s even more frugal and from-scratch!

    That;s a great blend of flours in this cake. It already looks good but I’m tempted to do as you suggest and bake double for a layer cake.

    So that’s probably the secret to a smoother cake, blending different flours. I find just using coconut or almond flour makes cakes too crumbly.

      Yes, it definitely helps to have a blend of flours. What one flour lacks, the other one makes up for 🙂

    This reminds me of a snack cake my mom used to make growing up, but definitely much healthier without all that white flour and sugar!

    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! :))
