Description

A moist and nutty almond butter cake, perfect for dessert or afternoon tea. Rich in almond flavor with a tender crumb.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup almond butter (smooth, unsweetened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup sliced almonds for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Grease and line an 8‑inch round cake pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together almond butter, sugar, eggs, baking soda, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle sliced almonds if using.
  4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • You can substitute sugar with coconut sugar or a sugar alternative for a lower glycemic option.
  • Ensure almond butter is well-stirred and oil-free for best texture.
  • Cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For extra moisture, add ¼ cup Greek yogurt or applesauce to the batter.
