We start October with a homemade almond cake, perfect for family snacks and cozy autumn afternoons. This recipe is easy to make, wonderfully moist and full of natural almond flavor. Thanks to the combination of flours and the use of almond-based plant cream, the texture is soft and tender, making it a cake everyone will love.
For this recipe, we use Ecomil Almond Cuisine, a plant-based cream that adds extra creaminess and a delicious almond taste. If you want a fully vegan version, you can easily replace the eggs with ground flaxseeds mixed with water.
Why make a homemade almond cake?
A homemade almond cake is a great way to enjoy a balanced sweet treat made with simple, quality ingredients. Almonds provide healthy fats and plant-based protein, while their mild flavor pairs perfectly with coffee, tea or a warm plant-based drink.
