How to make?
You can find full printable recipe below, but here is a quick overview of the procedure along with step-by-step photos.
1 & 2: Add 4 eggs and brown sugar into a large bowl and begin beating with an electric beater for about 4 minutes. The egg mixture will have increased in volume and look pale in color.
Tip: Make sure to leave you eggs at room temperature for several hours before baking. When you beat with the mixer, the warmer egg’s protein traps air bubbles and it expand when baking, which results in a lighter textured baked good.
3 & 4: Add blanched super fine flour, baking powder, salt and vanilla extract. Continue beating, beginning on low speed and gradually increasing to high.
5 & 6: The batter will have have thickened after about 1 minute. Remove beater and gently stir using a rubber spatula to mix any dry mixture attached to the sides of the bowl.
7: Grease a 8-inch round baking pan with cooking spray or melted butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. Transfer batter into the prepared baking pan and gently smooth the top so the batter is spread evenly.
8: We like to sprinkle the top with some sliced almonds which not only adds texture but also makes it visually appealing. Bake in a pre heated 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes clean.

Almond flour vs almond meal
Blanched Almond Flour:
A blanched almond means the layer of skin enclosing the nut has been removed. Because blanched almond flour is ground almonds without their skin, it will have a consistent cream color (free of red-brown flecks of skin), as well as a smooth texture.
It is also more finely ground, lighter, and particularly good for making pastries and other delicate baked goods. Removing the skin does not impact the nutritional benefit. Whether the flour is blanched or unblanched, the benefits remain the same.
Suggested Uses: cookies, brownies, pastries, macarons, pancakes, cakes
Almond Meal:
For the most part, almond meal can be used interchangeably with almond flour. Almond meal is made of unblanched almonds, or almonds with their skins on.
It is less finely ground than blanched flour. This gives it a more coarse texture, which makes it great for gluten free bread crumbs and crust for proteins such as pork, chicken or fish.
Suggested Uses: bread crumbs, outer coating on proteins, scones, fruit crumble
Unblanched Almond Flour:
Unblanched almond flour means the almond skin has been left on. The red-brown flecks in the flour can affect the appearance of some dishes. This is beneficial for some dishes, giving it a more rustic look.
It is also said to be heavier than blanched almond flour. One deterrent can be that, while very healthy, unblanched flour is more fibrous than blanched flour and may cause digestive issues for some.
Suggested uses: pie crust, scones, biscuits

Recipe FAQs
Can I use coconut flour instead?
Coconut flour has a tendency to be drier and requires more liquid, therefore will not work in this almond flour cake recipe which does have any liquid.
Does almond flour make a cake moist?
It has a higher fat content when compared to plain flour and hence adds an unbeatable moisture, richness and mild sweetness to the cake.
Will this recipe work with flax eggs?
No. Eggs are essential in gluten free baking to help with binding and rise. Flax eggs can sometimes not offer that much needed structure.
Can I use different size cake pans?
Yes! You can use 9-inch round, square or a springform pan instead of the 8-inch pan, however the cake might be comparatively thinner in height.
How to line your pan with parchment paper?
Place your pan on a large sheet of parchment paper. Trace the bottom of the pan with a pencil or pen and cut on the traced line to make a circle. Grease the bottom and sides of your pan with cooking spray and place the parchment round on the bottom.

Substituting Almond Flour for Regular Flour
Because of the weight of the flours, a one-to-one conversion isn’t always possible. In addition to weighing less than regular flour, almond flour also contains more moisture, which changes the chemistry of baked goods.
- Increase the amount of almond flour by 25%, so for every 1 cup flour, use 1 1/4 cup almond flour.
- Add extra leavening to offset the density of almond flour. 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, baking soda, or combination of both will help.
- Use less liquid in the recipe since almond flour adds more moisture. Using an egg yolk instead of the whole add egg or cutting back on moisture containing ingredients, such as milk, bananas, applesauce, or sour cream.
SAVE Easy ALMOND FLOUR RECIPES PINTEREST BOARD!
Let’s be friends on Pinterest! I’m always sharing great recipes!
- Almond pie crust, baked and cooled
- (zest lemons before juicing)
- freshly squeeze lemon juice, about 2-3 lemons
- plain greek yogurt
Meringue Topping
- large egg whites*,
- cream of tartar
Frozen Lemon Pie Filling
-
In a medium saucepan combine heavy cream with 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
-
Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and yogurt. Whisk vigorously until well combined and no lumps remain. Alternatively, use a hand mixer on LOW speed to combine.
-
Set aside lemon cream filling to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Once the filling has cooled, pour into prepared pie crust, and freeze until solid, about 6 hours to overnight.
Meringue Topping
-
Preheat oven to 500°F. In a large bowl beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy.
-
Gradually add the ⅓ cup sugar, a couple tablespoons at a time, beating continuously. Continue to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
-
Spread the meringue on top of the frozen pie, sealing all the way to the edges so no filling is exposed. Bake until peaks turn golden brown, about 3 minutes.
-
Either slice and serve immediately or return back to the freezer until ready to serve. If refreezing, let the pie sit out for 20-30 minutes before slicing or refrigerate one hour before slicing. Freeze any leftovers.
-
DID YOU MAKE THIS RECIPE?? DON’T FORGET TO LEAVE FEEDBACK AND RATE BELOW!
*Use 4 egg whites for less meringue, 5 whites if you like a lot of meringue topping
Best Tips
- Swap out yogurt with 8 ounce softened cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, or mixture of ingredients as long as it equals 1 cup.
- If using cream cheese instead of yogurt, make sure it’s softened and cubed, then beat on LOW speed to make the lemon filling smooth and homogeneous.
- Remember to zest the lemons first before juicing.
- For extra lemon flavor swap out vanilla extract for lemon extract.
- Instead of topping with meringue, spread on homemade whipped cream, Cool Whip, sprinkle with toasted coconut, or fresh berries.
Serving instructions
For optimal slicing and serving avoid taking the pie from the freezer and immediately serving. It needs some time to soften to easily slice and enjoy.
Before serving, refrigerate the pie for 1 hour or set out at room temp 20-30 minutes. Run a sharp knife under hot water, wipe it dry, and slice through easily. Repeat running the knife through hot water as necessary.
Serve creamy frozen lemon pie as is or with fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.

Use different size cake pans
- 9-Inch round or square: The almond flour cake will be thinner and the bake time will be a few minutes shorter than a 8-inch round pan.
- 9×13 Inch: Double the recipe for a 9×13 inch quarter sheet snack cake.
- Cupcakes: You can use a muffin tin and make cupcakes or muffins. If you’re making cupcakes, I recommend checking them after 20 minutes.
- Bundt Cake: Doubling this recipe would be plenty for a 10-12 cup Bundt pan. Make sure to liberally grease the pan and cool completely before attempting to remove.

Can I Make Almond Flour At Home?
Yes. Making almond flour, or almond meal, at home is both simple and cost effective. With little equipment, and some almonds, you can learn how to make almond flour in no time!
Equipment needed:
- Food processor or blender
- 8 ounces unsalted almonds, blanched or unblanched
How to Make Almond Flour or Meal:
- Place blanched, or unblanched, almonds into a food processor or blender. Blanched almonds are used for almond flour, while unblanched are used in almond meal.
- Pulse the almonds in short bursts until they are finely ground. Be sure to not over-process or the oils will release and you will end up with almond butter!
Tips to Remember:
- For a more finely ground flour, a powerful blender works better than the food processor.
- You can use more than 8 ounces of almonds, but for best results – do not grind more than 8 ounces at a time.
- Starting with almonds that are cut, slivered, or chopped will process quicker and yield better results.
How to Blanch Almonds
If you would like to blanch your own almonds bring a small pan of water to boil. Toss in raw, unsalted almonds and boil for 60 seconds. Drain the almonds and rinse with cold water to cool them off. Lastly, squeeze each almond to remove the skin.
What Can I Make with Almond Meal?
- Fruit crumble
- Gluten free bread crumbs for casseroles
- Meatballs
- Scones
- Crust for proteins such as pork, chicken or fish
- Tortillas
- Pizza crust
- Biscuits

Ingredients
Scroll down to the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and amounts.

-
Place eggs and brown sugar in a large bowl and beat with a hand held electric beater, on high, for about 4 minutes, until pale in color and thickened.
