Easy gluten-free almond flour paleo apple cake that is perfect when you would like to enjoy a simple cake slice. Natural oils from the almond make it moist, and sweetness from the raw honey makes it a great healthy(ish) choice.
It’s time … Paleo Apple Cake Special
It’s that time of the year when there are so many delicious treats in the garden that I don’t even know where to start. In these cases, I tell myself JUST start from somewhere. So, today it’s going to be all about apples! Yes, it’s another almond flour cake. I can’t help myself.
Almond flour is the winner: No questions asked
All the other healthy(ish) flours such as oat flour, coconut flour, and rice flour aren’t very popular in my home for sweet cakes. That’s why I can’t help myself to share another almond flour cake. I feel like it’s just the perfect ingredient if you love classic cakes made out of butter and plain flour. It’s so similar to that traditional flour and egg cake. However, the secret here is that almonds have so many natural oils inside that it’s perfectly moist.
