| After School Snacks, Baked Sweets
During school holidays, I tend to bake a few more nut based recipes. This is an easy, healthy cake recipe that I just keep coming back to – one because it is so delicious and two because it is so versatile (vanilla one day, citrus or chocolate the next). I’m so excited to share this one because I know it is going to become a firm Well Nourished recipe favourite.
Due to popular request, I’ve also included a Thermomix method (my first time combining the two), which I’ll do my best to continue to do with future recipes.
Health benefits
This is one sustaining, protein rich cake. Almonds are a rich source of monounsaturated fats, many fat-soluble vitamins and a plethora of minerals. They are a very concentrated source of many health giving Phyto (plant) chemicals and are also a great protein source.
Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit many specific dietary requirements.
Easy, Healthy Cake Recipe (with lots of flavour variations)
Prep 15 minutes minutes
Cook 25 minutes minutes
Total 40 minutes minutes
Serves: 6
This is one of the most versatile, delicious 'healthy' cakes ever. It's easy to make and the variations on this cake are endless. Check out my suggestions at the end of the recipe.
Ingredients
- 170 g almond meal (1¾ cup loosely packed)
- 170 g rice malt syrup, honey or maple syrup (½ cup)
- 4 free-range or organic egg/s (large) at room temperature and carefully separated
- ½ tsp bicarbonate ofsoda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla -powder, extract or essence
- ½ tsp cream of tartar
Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F (fan-forced). Grease a 23cm springform round cake tin well. Shake a little almond meal over the base and sides too to if you like to make it really non-stick.
In a food processor mix the almond meal, sweetener of choice, egg yolks, bicarbonate of soda, sea salt, and vanilla until well combined (Thermomix 30 seconds, speed 4). Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a clean and a completely dry food processor or bowl, whisk your egg whites.You are wanting to form strong peaks (like for a meringue). I generally do this by whisking it until it becomes foamy (Thermomix butterflyinserted, 20 seconds, speed 3). Then add the cream of tartar and mix until peaks form (Thermomix butterfly inserted, 1½ minutes approx., speed 4). Stop beating as soon as strongwhite peaks form.
Gently fold half of the egg white into the almond batter. Fold in the remaining egg white and pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until cookedin the middle.
Remove the outer ring from the tin and allow to cool before removing the base.
Tip
Personally, I'm generally a throw it all in kind of baker. But by separating the egg white, you will achieve a much lighter cake. So I believe it is worth a little extra effort to beat the egg white. If you do have an egg white disaster or can't be bothered, you will just have a heavier, but still delicious cake.
Serve
With double cream or sour cream
With full-fat natural or unsweetened Greek yoghurt
For dairy free, serve with coconut yoghurt or cashew nut cream
Store
Store in an airtight container in the pantry, fridge or freezer.
Variations
Low-fructose
Choose rice malt syrup as your sweetener.
Citrus cake
Add the zest of 2-3 oranges, lemons or lime to infuse that flavour into the cake. Once the cake is cooked, mix ¼ cup of juice with¼ cup of sweetener over a low heat until combined. Pierce the top of the cake with a skewer a few times and drizzle over the syrup.
Tea cake
Brush the top of the warm cake with melted butter or coconut oil and top with a spice/sugar mix (equal parts of mixed spice and coconut sugar)
Syrupcake
Warm the sweetener of your choice and brush over the cake whilst still warm. Feel free to get creative and infuse it with and herbs or spices you like. I often heat the syrup with a few leaves of lemon balm or lemon myrtle from my garden and serve topped with berries and syrup (as pictured).
Chocolate cake
Add a tablespoon of raw cacao to the almond meal batter.
Almond-free
Replace the almonds with hazelnut meal.
As I test other flavour combos I will add to the variations above. Do you like this cake? Be sure to let me know by posting a comment below. I love hearing from you!

I have been reading on the internet lately that many people now think we should not really have any Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs). I know almonds have a higher amount of mono, but just wondering your thoughts on this as I know you are a big user of nuts and seeds. Have you come across the work of Ray Peat?
I really value your opinion as you seem to have a balanced view and it is easy to get caught up in extreme views. This cake does look good!! CheersReply
Georgia Harding says
Hey Jess. I personally don’t believe food can be assessed as a sum of its parts. I could write pages in response to your comment, but I’ll try keep it short. After years of going around in circles trying to nail ‘the perfect diet’ and vilifying a number of whole foods in the process, I’ve finally found peace with my plate and my only food focus is on ‘variety’. I eat a little of everything, a lot of nothing and have loads of variety in my diet. Yes I do eat nuts and seeds, but certainly not every day. I mainly use them in baking (but also bake with spelt, buckwheat, quinoa, millet, arrowroot, coconut flour). I believe nature presents food in a perfect package, but we mess with it and make it a lot less perfect. In herbal medicine, many herbs are the foundation of commonly prescribed medications. Aspirin is one example. In its herbal (whole) form it is wonderful at relieving pain (without the side effects of it’s manufactured pharmaceutical form). Nature has provided all the necessary buffers to allow it to act without harm (again in the correct dosages). Hope this helps a bit. G x

Hi Georgia, I made the cake today but it did not cook in the middle after 25 mins, but it tasted great and I’m definitely going to cook it again (bit longer next time)
Reply
Georgia Harding says
Yep Leanne, always need to check the middle. I just can’t account for different ovens in my cook times. In fact it takes exactly 25mins in my oven but I’ve had three people comment that their was burnt and over cooked at 25 minutes. Cant’ win! Glad it tasted good though. G x

Thanks so much Georgia for your wonderful recipes and information about nutrition. I feel like I’m learning so much from Well Nourished & really enjoying the learning journey.
I made the chocolate version of this cake. It rose beautifully with a lovely crest after 25 mins baking. Then sank to a slight dip in the tin. Is there any way of avoiding this, or is that just how it goes? Any tips would be gratefully received. Thanks again so much for all your generous sharing.
Regards
SabineReply
Georgia Harding says
Hi Sabine, mine always rise in the oven and they do flatten off (so sad) but not dip (I hate sunken cakes). It is really important to not open the oven, especially early on in the cooking process as this definitely causes sunken middles. Another thought is with the cacao, maybe increase the bicarb to 1 tsp. Let me know how you go, G x
Reply
Tobi says
These are all very helpful tips, as mine too sunk in the middle and it happened to be the chocolate version. But it definitely didn’t deter us from polishing it off. The surprising lightness was such a delight, it was hard to stop at one slice.

Georgia Harding says
Glad you enjoyed it sunken and all. G x
Reply
Georgia Harding says
Sabine, someone on FB has just reported a drooping middle and someone responded with this as the cause (and a solution) “it’s cooking too fast. Wrap some soaking wet tea tea towels around the tin and cover the top in foil. That will stop the outsides cooking and rising faster than the centre. It rises but then doesn’t have the support to stay up= – sinking… I learnt that from a pastry chef. I always use that on de see cakes like nut meal based ones. Takes a lot longer but it works “

Strange, I have always found this to be really moist. Perhaps your oven runs hot and it was a little overdone? Grasping at straws but older almond meal will also be dryer than fresh/ freshly milled. G x

That’s a very easy cake and it’s relly goooood! Thanks for the thermomix instructions. I have done this with less rice malt syrop, a little of grated lemon peel and a teaspoon of cheese cream. I’m wondering about the cream of tartare, is that like baking powder? thanks a lot
Reply
Georgia Harding says
The cream of tartare just helps the egg whites to stiffen and hold (so this makes the cake less dense). But you can make with out, just might alter the texture a little. Thanks for sharing your version too, sounds yum, G x

Made this last night and added powdered ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom to make it a ‘spice’ cake – very moorish. Mine did sink in the middle and overlook a bit on the outside, but I had used a non-stick pan and I know that causes the problem.

Melany Prill says
Hello Georgia, I am going make your lamingtons for my little girls birthday and I was hoping to make them pink/strawberry instead of chocolate. Do you think dipping them in your chia jam would work and then coating in coconut with some natural pink food colouring would work? Any tips? Thanks in advance. x Ps have you tried freezing this cake?
Reply
Georgia Harding says
Yes or you could just try the raw chocolate mix but without the cacao and then roll in the coloured coconut. I’m worried the chia jam won’t hold enough but could be wrong. I often do a chia jam layer through the middle though which is lovely. They do freeze but like any cake, they are best fresh – I actually make a day ahead and serve from the fridge generally (this helps the coating hold solid) . Love to hear/ see how they turn out Mel G x

Yum, yum, yum! The best low carb cake texture I have come across (without being a brownie style cake)! I made the chocolate version, although it isn’t super ‘chocolatey’, the texture was amazing! I might experiment and add some melted chocolate to the batter to up the chocolate hit, either that or just coat the cake in a ganache icing! Looking forward to trying other flavours!Reply

Hi Georgia! looking at making this cake for our 3kids combined party, lots of mouths to feed 🙂 never made it before but love & trust all your recepes so will do this one just wondering as I’ll make it in a rectangular 34×27 cm (cocoa version vith coconut cream & chocolate ganache) should I double or triple the quantities? thank in in advance xx
Reply
Georgia Harding says
Hi Anna. yes you will need to double or triple (I’m not great with sizing unless looking at the volume). Generally with GF cakes the rise is hard to hold over a large surface so it will be a little flat. I generally make a two tiered cake for birthdays so if you don’t think the first cake is big enough, you can always do a second tier with the ganache in between too (or a chia jam).
Hope the party goes well, sounds like quite a celebration! G x

Sian says
Hi! Rookie baker here but reasonably certain 170gms (1 3/4 cups) almond flour and 170gms (1/2 cup) sweetener wasn’t what you meant to type? I had a go and used the cup version because I didn’t know any better and i thought equal amounts of flour to sweetener sounded like a lot. It was horribly crumbly so I added another egg, coconut oil and almond milk and it’s turned out pretty good but just wondering if you could check your recipe for clarification. Thanks Georgia! Love your recipes xReply
Georgia Harding says
Hey Sian
I’ve just realised I missed your comment somehow, apologies.I’ve double checked and my gram/cup quantities are spot on. I’m wondering if perhaps you firmly packed the almond meal (170g is loosely packed)? Even so it’s a very wet cake batter (and I find forgiving as I’ve made it on holiday without any proper measure ?) so I really can’t explain why it was dry sorry.
Perhaps try again? It’s such a great basic cake G x

Karen Holt says
Hello, I made this cake to substitute for a sponge to be cut up and layered in a chocolate custard mousse refrigerator cake. It worked very well BUT when making it by the old fashioned hand mixer method (no Thermomixers here) the almond meal mixture was more like biscuit crumbs and I couldn’t see how the egg whites were going to fold into that so I added and beat in some melted butter and coconut cream then incorporated the egg whites in 3 portions, folding less vigorously each time.
My question is: is the recipe correct in not having ANY fat at all in the ingredients? No butter, oilve oil, coconut oil etc? Thank you in advance.Reply
Georgia Harding says
Hi Karen, yes, the recipe is absolutely correct. I make this cake at lease once a month (it’s my go to celebration cake) and the almond meal mix is very wet, even before you add the whites.
My mum makes it often all by hand and said she’s never had this problem either. So I’m wondering if your measurements were right – did you add back the yolks too? Sorry grasping at straws. The egg and almond meal are the ‘fat’ part of the cake so no butter or oil required.
Really glad it worked out with your tweaks though. G x

Beca says
This was amazing! Thank you! Soo hard to stop eating, we kept going back for more haha ? so easy to make too and worked perfectly first time (I just hand mixed everything and used lemon juice instead of cream or tartar). Although i did only cook for 15mins as it was getting quite dark on top and it was perfectly cooked in that time!I have a question… I made the citrus version and would love to double it up as a layer cake. Any suggestions for what you would use as a fill between the layers and for an icing on top? Hoping for it to be white for the look of a citrus cake ? and still be healthy!
Thank you ♡

Georgia Harding says
Almond meal based cakes can be very sensitive. What you’ve described occurs when the outside of the cake cooks faster than the middle. Make sure you don’t open the door during cooking and you could try wrapping a wet towel around the outside of the tin (so it cooks more evenly). Greasing the pan well or lining it with baking paper will resolve your sticking issue.
The other cake is much more forgiving and will rise regardless of the way your oven heats. It also tastes best when made a day ahead which I love for a party . G x

Hi,
I first baked this cake when a friend asked me to bake a cake for her birthday and sent me this recipe. I baked two and put some strawberry jam in the middle and covered the cake in vegan ganache. It was amazing. I have baked it many times since then and have found the most amazing combination with Natvia Salty Caramel Topping in the middle. It is a healthier option sweetened on stevia. This is in Australia. It is truly amazing. I am about to bake this cake for another friend’s birthday. It will be 4 cakes with caramel middles and a chocolate ganache. I am thinking of doing the 4 cakes in different flavors, orange, chocolate, vanilla, and hazelnut.Reply

Hi Georgia, can’t wait to make this. Appreciate your recipes and instead of an Instagram obsession (which is the norm) I have a WellNourished obsession, I spend hours of my week reading lots of your recipes. Anyway hope my in-laws like it.
I’m making this tomorrow morning so obviously no worries if you don’t respond in time. I’ll figure it out… step 5 in method – I don’t have a spring form tin so I’ll use baking paper and then let it cool for a few minutes before turning cake upside down (using plate) and placing cake on top of the outside of the tin base… I’m guessing you don’t want it to cool too quickly as it sinks more?
Reply
Well Nourished Team says
Hi Maria, thank you for the lovely feedback! What I normally do if I don’t have a spring form tin is when I line the tin with baking paper I cut 4 strips and lay them at the bottom of the tin (like a cross) so when the cake is ready instead of having to tip it upside down, you can simple lift out of the tin with the baking paper strips. Let me know how you go with the cake.
