I think I shall add good almond essence to enhance the flavour of the nuts. What do you think?
Could I use coconut Flour or tapioca flower instead?
its not an almond cake then is it?
What can I use to substitute white sugar? Thanks.
You can use brown sugar
You can use Xylitol. It’s a natural immune boosting berch sugar. Good of diabetes, and you can even brush your teeth with it.
A great recipe! I used butter to grease the parchment paper and pan. Used coconut oil instead of canola. Very easy!
That is the best cake I’ve ever had. Wow! And I love that there is no butter or flour. Thank you
Glad you liked the cake 🙂
What a great way to start the new year. All the best to you in2020
One of the best recipes so far but will replace the canola oil with coconut oil or grape seed the healthier alternative and also use a good sweetener to substitute for sugar. Will try it and leave my comments . Thank you for sharing.
Are you using a fan oven?
Hey mind blowing texture😀yummy 😋 can I replace coconut oil with flavour less vegetable oil ??
This cake is superb! Very satisfying, flavorful, not too sweet, and the delicate lightness from the egg whites makes this recipe a keeper. Yum!
Glad you like it 🙂
This is one of my favourite recipes EVER. Have baked this cake at least 4-5 times in the past year, and everyone around me loves it.
One problem though – since the past few times, the cake has been coming out a bit wet and soggy. I spend a lot of time in beating each egg mixture, but sometimes the cake is too wet,doesn’t rise a lot and smells eggy. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?
I’ve read in a very similar almond cake recipe to be careful not to overmix. Try to fold in the egg whites until just incorporated. I know it’s kind of challenging, especially because that initial batter is really thick.
This is so delicious. Instead sugar used honey 75 gr sugar. Egg whites bit with sugar, come out amazing, and use avocado oil.
Just tried this recipe and the cake is moist, not too sweet and delicious. I was looking for an almond cake recipe to replicate what I had at a local pastry shop recently and your recipe was perfect. Thanks. I’m going to check out your other recipes. BTW, am very puzzled by the 3.5 rating. I’d give it 5/5 if I could find out where to rate it.
Loved it! I am diabetic, so swapped the sugar for erythritol. Came out great!
How much did you use as I’d like to substitute aswell. Husband is diabetic also. Thanks ☺️

Can i do it with coconut oil?
Yes.
Did you use almond flour or ground almond?
I just made it with almond flour but it turned out way too dry and not fluffy…
It should work with both almond flour and ground almonds.
