I know. It’s another cake.
This Strawberry Almond Flour Cake is just too delicious (and interesting) to delay sharing. And, anyway, it is finally strawberry season here in Southern California.
Interestingly, no wheat flour is involved here. It’s just almond flour and a small amount of coconut flour.
This is a King Arthur Flour recipe. Here is the link to the original recipe: Strawberry Almond Flour Cake.
Here is how I made the cake in my kitchen.
Strawberry Almond Flour Cake
May 31, 2022
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (room temperature, separated)
- 1/2 C. plus 2 T. granulated sugar
- 1 t. vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 C. almond flour
- 1 T. coconut flour
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1/4 t. salt
- Sliced strawberries or mixed berries for garnish
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Step 2 Prepare an 8 inch round cake pan by greasing it with melted butter and sprinkling 2 T. sugar onto the bottom of the greased pan. (Be sure to swirl the melted butter in the pan so that some of the butter gets onto the sides of the pan.)
- Step 3 Beat egg yolks, 1/4 C. of the sugar, and vanilla together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Step 4 Whip egg whites until they form soft peaks. Then, slowly beat the remaining 1/4 C. sugar into the egg white mixture. Set aside.
- Step 5 Whisk the flours, baking powder and salt together. Add this dry ingredient mixture to the egg yolk mixture. Stir. You want to have a thick mixture. Fold the beaten egg white mixture into the flour/egg yolk mixture. Add the egg whites 1/2 C. at a time and fold the whites completely into the batter before adding the next 1/2 C. of egg whites.
- Step 6 Spoon the prepared batter into your prepared pan and bake the cake on the center rack of your oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Your cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Also, the top of the cake should be a pleasant golden brown.
- Step 7 Remove the baked cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan (and on a rack) for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, run a knife around the edge of the cake and invert the cake out onto your serving plate.
- Step 8 Allow cake to cool completely before serving. Garnish with fruit.
