Is almond flour the only option for a gluten-free cake?

Almond flour is a popular choice for gluten-free baking, but you can also try coconut flour or a gluten-free baking blend. Each option offers a unique texture and flavor, so feel free to experiment!

How can I make this cake dairy-free?

To make your gluten-free cake dairy-free, use a dairy-free yogurt or non-dairy cream alternative instead of whipped cream, and ensure that your almond flour does not contain any additives. This cake already aligns well with these dietary preferences.

How can I tell when the cake is done?

You can tell the cake is done by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, your cake is ready! It’s best not to overbake as this can dry it out.

Can I freeze this gluten-free cake?

Yes, you can freeze this gluten-free cake! Wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw it at room temperature before serving.

What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?

If you’re looking for an egg substitute, use flax eggs (mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water, let it sit for 5 minutes). This will help bind the ingredients while keeping it gluten-free.
