Almond Cake


I originally shared this recipe as a guest post on the wonderful Glitter and Ganache, but thought I should share it with you all in case you missed it. Mainly I just love this cake and think about eating it all the time. It’s a great summer recipe because it pairs well with fruit and coconut cream, but you could also have it with simple powdered sugar or frosting and chocolate ganache.

Vegan Almond Cake

1 cup almond milk
1 tsp vinegar (apple cider or white)
1 cup plus 2 Tbs all purpose flour
1/3 cup almond meal
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp almond extract

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour your cake pan. Whisk the vinegar into the almond milk and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond meal, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, oil, extracts and almond milk mixture. Make a well in your dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Stir until just combined and only a few clumps remain. Pour into the prepared cake pan and cook for 30 – 35 minutes, or until the edges brown and pull away from the pan. Let sit for about 5 minutes before removing from pan and letting cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!

    Mmm yum, that cake sounds so good! I’m always a fan of almond-flavored foods, since they’re always so good! Will have to try this out sometime. ^^

    That cake sounds great, almond meal in cakes is one of my favourite things and I love a cake topped with powdered sugar & fruit in summer.

  4. It looks so good and fluffy! I need to do some gluten-free cake experiments!

    should we beat the oil and sugar until it turns light or should we just mix the it together?

    I am trying to find a recipe for Italian seven layer cookies, that is vegan. Do you think I could use your recipe for that. I would need to add some almond paste and divide the batter into thirds to color it. It sounds as through your cake is moist and would lend itself to this application. I am new at veganizing things. That is why I am asking you. Thank-you for your help.

    I’ve been using this recipe for a few years now, so I should probably tell you how great it is! It’s my boyfriend’s favorite cake. Simple to make, fluffy, sweet, absolutely scrumptious. I usually add some orange extract and I always use whole wheat flower instead of white. It still comes out light with the modifications. Thank you for posting. This cake is in the oven as I type and we are so looking forward to it!
