My fiance loves almond cake. Whenever we go to Rainbow Acres, which is a local health food store, he gets their almond cake. So when I got those cute little mini bundt cake molds, I wanted to experiment with some almond flour baking in my new food processor. Normally for my muffins, I use less sugar since they are a breakfast food. Since this was a cake recipe, I decided to be generous with the amount of coconut sugar I added. I wouldn’t consider this a health food, but a healthier alternative to store bought dessert.

My mother made me almond cake each year for my birthday – I miss it when February rolls around. Will be giving this a try to see if I can restore a family tradition. Thank you for posting!
Your welcome! I always got a cannoli on my birthday. Maybe I will find a healthier alternative this year. Glad to help.
Hi Lauren
could I do them in the muffin tins? I got a lot of almond flour to use and coconut sugar too!

You could definitely make them into muffins! Shameer made a batch that way, and he cut the coconut oil in half too since these were on the oily/moist side. It's a pretty flexible recipe 🙂
Are you aware that there is no information as to which temperature to bake them at? I did 350 and it seemed to work, so I’m wondering what you did.
I’ll fix that. I always bake at 350 for baked goods. Thank you for catching that error.
