Honey Almond Cake - Flourless

This Honey Almond Cake is flourless and uses only honey for sweetener! I am always on the lookout for an easy recipes and this is right up there. It uses ingredients I almost always have on hand so no planning required. A little honey in the batter makes it just the right amount of sweet. 

Cake Ingredients

4 large eggs, separated

Flourless Honey Almond Cake

1/2 cup honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1-3/4 cups blanched almond flour

Topping Ingredients

2 TBSP honey

1/4 sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray bottom of 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper and spray the paper.

• Beat together egg yolks, 1/2 cup honey, vanilla, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl on medium speed until well combined. Add the almond flour and beat on low until combined.
  

• Beat egg whites in another large bowl with the electric mixer on medium speed until very foamy and doubled in volume, but not stiff (about 2 minutes). Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the nut mixture until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

• Bake about 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and gently remove the side ring. Allow to cool completely.
• To serve, drizzle the top of the cake with honey and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
