My Gluten-Free Berry Almond Flour Cake. If you’re looking for a delicious and gluten-free way to make your Valentine’s Day more special, or if you’re just looking for another sort-of healthy but tremendously tasty treat to add to your repertoire, look no further. There are a ton of reasons to love this recipe, but chief among them are that it is:
Delicious, goes without saying, although I think I’ve said it three times so far. Gluten-free. Yay. It’s made almost entirely with almond flour, which I love love love. Easy to prep. Everything comes together in a single bowl or in a food processor if you want to save yourself the wrist work (yes, I can get that lazy). Is full of the delicious flavor of berries. I use a berry preserve to add flavor and to help bind the gluten-free cake, and I pile a ton of berries on top to add more freshness and flavor. Has a pretty, pale pink color from the raspberry preserves I used. Kinda nice for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think? Nutritious. Well, kinda. There is just a tiny amount of the natural sweetness of maple syrup added to this cake, and the rest of the sweetness comes from the preserves. Use a naturally sweetened or homemade preserve, if you want to control the type of sugar. I just used a store-bought one. Convenience, remember?
This cake, I will add, was a huge hit with the kid of the house, and since it’s healthy, I didn’t feel bad at all cutting him that second slice when he asked for it. Check to get new recipe updates by email.
