This paleo almond cake recipe is delicious and totally grain free, gluten free and dairy free! I made another version of this recipe a few months ago, but found that the texture wasn’t quite right and it was a little dry, so I made a few tweaks and came up with this recipe—tasty, slightly sweet and moist!
I made this paleo almond cake for my boyfriend’s birthday since he’s on gaps and can’t have regular cakes. He was so excited to get this special treat!
Enjoy this with breakfast for a little sweet bread, make it for a holiday or for friend or family member for their birthday!

I made this cake with such high hope that my picky husband will love this healthy cake but to my disappointment it turned out horrible. Texture, taste and everything else about this cake.
this looks good – I love anything Almond! Please, as I am doing low-carb, would you know what the carbs are for a serving? Also, can I substitute stevia for the honey?
I’m not sure of the carb level, you can put the recipe into an app like myfitnesspal to find out. You would have to experiment with stevia since that would change the texture.
The texture of the bread looks amazing!!
Thanks Megan! It is yummy! 🙂
about how many servings?
It will serve about 8-10
Man, I wish I could just hire you are my personal chef. We should make that happen! 🙂
This recipe looks great, can’t wait to try it!
So simple and yet it looks so damn tasty! This is definitely going on my list of grain free treats to try 🙂
What an absolute treat! And it’s so easy to make!
This sounds great. Was wondering, if a bit of almond extract might be good in it?
