Honey Almond Cake (Gluten free, Low carb)

This is one of my favorite gluten free cake.
 Everytime when my friends come over, I bake this cake for them. Although, I can't eat them because I have fructosemalobsorption (oh honey!) I still enjoy making them because they are easy, simple and delicious! 


They are one of the moist and pleasently sweet dessert. You can smell it's nutty auroma as well as feel its moist and soft but pound cake like texture.


Hope you try this recipe! 


 


Ingredients 


Almond flour 1cup
Baking Soda 1/2 tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp
1tbsp of cinnamon (optional)
1tsp of nutmag (optional)

(I recommend adding cinnamon or nutmag if you are not going to make creamcheese Icing)


Large eggs 4 (separated and room temp)
1/2 honey (I will bring another almond cake recipe without using honey or fructoce!) 
Vanilla Extract 1tbsp



Lemon Creamcheese Icing

1/2 cup of Creamcheese
4tbsp of lemon juice
Lemon jest from 1whole lemon
Pinch of salt 
(If you want sweetness add honey or drizzle it for garnish)




Direction 

1. Preheat oven to 175c or 350f

2. In a seperate bowl mix all the dry ingredients with honey and vanilla except for the almond meal, then mix it with egg yolks till it is well combined (electic will work perfect).

3. When everything is well combined add almond meal little bit at a time and stir well

4. Separate egg whites and whisk till it forms stiff peaks (just a bit less stiff than merang not more than 1-2mins) 

5. Add egg whites to the mixture one at a time and stir it carefully and do not over mix! 

6. Pour it in a cake tin (make sure to useparchment  paper or nonstick spray) bake it for  27-30mins (mine was done at 27)

7. When it is lightly/dark if your almondmeal is unbleached brown. Check it with a skewer. 

8. Cool it for 10mins or fridge it over night 
Top it with lemon creamcheese icing



(For icing just mix all the ingredients! If you want it fluffy use an electric mixer)
