A moist and tender gluten-free almond flour cake perfect for Father’s Day or any celebration, featuring simple ingredients and a delicate balance of almond and lemon flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) finely ground almond flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar (can substitute coconut sugar)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (use dairy-free butter if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy (about 1-2 minutes). Add melted butter, sugar, almond extract, and vanilla extract if using. Whisk until smooth and shiny.
  4. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula, mixing just until combined to keep the batter tender.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, starting to check at 30 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender. Use room temperature eggs for best results. If edges brown too fast, loosely cover with foil midway through baking. Letting the cake rest overnight wrapped in plastic wrap improves texture and flavor. For vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and butter with plant-based alternatives.
