Quick Almond Cake – Use Your Almond Flour!

If you’re looking for a delicious way to use up your almond flour this Quick Almond Cake mixes up in your food processor in about 5 minutes and only requires a few ingredients. There is no added oil, and you don’t need it since blending up the almond flour creates almond-butter. The result is a tender cake with a crusty top that’s lightly sweet and gluten-free!

Quick Almond Cake

Serves 8; Preparation time: 5 minutes; Cooking time: 30 minutes

• 2 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons raw sugar
• A handful of sliced almonds

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Prepare a cake pan by oiling, cutting parchment paper to fit the bottom and then oiling the paper.
3. Combine in a food processor the almond flour, salt and sugar and process for 40 seconds.
4. Add the eggs, blending after the addition of each.
5. Add the extracts and blend until thoroughly mixed in, another 5 seconds or so.
6. Pour into prepared cake pan and sprinkle with the raw sugar and sliced almonds, if you have them (I didn’t have any sliced almonds so I just sprinkled sugar!).
7. Bake 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a bit of cake crumb clinging to it.
8. Let cool in the pan for two minutes then loosen the edge with a knife and invert onto a wire rack. Let cool.
9. Re-invert cake onto a cake plate and serve.
