Almond cake is a rustic, fragrant, and delicious dessert, made with a simple dough of ground almonds, eggs, sugar, and whole wheat flour. Made without milk, butter, or oil, thanks to the oil naturally contained in almonds, it has a rustic texture, halfway between a cake and a crumbly biscuit, and is perfect for breakfast or as a snack with a cup of tea. You can garnish it with cocoa glaze and enjoy it as a dessert. It’s wholesome, nutritious, and suitable for those with dairy intolerances.
Almond cake can also be made with other flours, such as 0 or 00, or spelt or oat flour. You can replace some of the almonds with walnuts or hazelnuts, or add chocolate chips for a more indulgent touch. The batter can be enriched with raisins and flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, or citrus zest.
