Baking Almond Flour Without Eggs
This almond flour cake is all about delivering the same taste and texture I used to love in French almond cakes without the eggs and with a sugar-free option. But using almond flour in vegan baking recipes is a challenge.
In fact, almond flour is a low-carb flour that doesn’t contain starch and therefore normally requires eggs as a binder. To make an egg-less almond flour cake, it’s crucial to add another flour to the recipe. There are no other options.
Egg replacers like flax egg or store-bought dry egg replacers will never bind almond flour in vegan cakes. You can make delicious almond flour cookies purely made of almond flour but when it comes to cake, it doesn’t work.
Cakes are thicker and heavier, and they need a starchy binder.
So you have three options when it comes to choosing flour to bind almond flour in a vegan cake recipe:
- קמח לכל המטרה – All-Purpose Gluten-Free flour works as well.
- קמח כוסמין - כוסמין is similar to wheat and makes great vegan recipes.
- Starchy Flours like potato starch or rice flour, but they increase the carbs and sugar in cakes even more, so not my favorite option. Plus, they make almond cakes a bit gummy.
מרכיבים ותחליפים
All you need are very basic pantry ingredients and it’s also a one-bowl cake recipe so everyone can make it at home in 10 minutes.
- קמח לכל המטרה - Sift the flour before using it. You can also use white spelt flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour for a gluten-free almond cake.
- קמח שקדים – Make sure you are using ultra-fine קמח שקדים with a light gold color and fine texture. Almond meal is coarser, darker in color and it makes cakes grainy.
- חלב שקדים – You can use unsweetened almond milk or any חלב צמחי you love such as oat milk, cashew milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.
- חמאה טבעונית מומסת – Melted שמן קוקוס also works instead of plant-based butter but the cake is a bit crumbly with it. Other great options are canola oil or light olive oil.
- תמצית וניל – To add a delicious taste.
- חומץ תפוחים – The acidity of חומץ תפוחים contributes to making the cake airier.
- אבקת אפייה ו אבקת סודה לשתייה – לקבלת מרקם אוורירי.
- ממתיק מגורען – You can use white sugar or erythritol as a sugar-free alternative for a low-carb vegan cake.
- תמצית שקדים – Almond Extract increases the almond flavors of the flour.
- Sliced Almond – Sliced raw or roasted שקדים to decorate the top of the cake.
- אבקת סוכר – or powdered erythritol to decorate the cake.
How To Make Almond Flour Cake Recipe Without Eggs
You don’t need an electric beater, egg replacers, or any fancy tools to make this egg-free almond cake recipe. It’s as straightforward as it gets. This is a simple 1-bowl almond flour cake, nothing difficult at all.
- In a large bowl, whisk very well all the dry ingredients: sifted flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients then add almond milk, melted vegan butter, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract and almond extract.
- Use a silicone spatula to stir and just combine all ingredients together. Don’t over stir, just stir until no more flour is seen and the batter is light and smooth.
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with vegan butter or coconut oil.
- Pour the cake batter in the pan and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the cake and slightly press them to stick to the cake batter.
- Bake the almond flour cake at 350°F (180°C) on the center rack of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean or with very little crumb on it. I like to remove the cake from the oven when a tiny amount of crumbs shows at the end of the toothpick because the cake batter is still moist.
- Let the cake cool down in its pan for 10 minutes, then release it on a wire rack.
Serving Vegan Almond Flour Cake
This almond flour cake is delicious on its own but bring it to the next level by adding:
- אבק של אבקת סוכר or powdered sugar-free sweetener.
- A drizzle of orange syrup – Mix 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and one tablespoon of orange juice and warm it in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Cool down and drizzle on top of the cake for an orange almond cake. It’s the perfect combo for a vegan Christmas cake.
- Scoop of Dairy-Free Vanilla Ice Cream

החלפות אלרגיה
Below I listed some options to make this cake recipe based on your food allergies:
- ללא סוכר – The great news about this almond flour cake is that you can make it low-carb and diabetes-friendly! Simply use a sugar-free granulated sweetener and use the same amount as called by the recipe. The best choices are erythritol, allulose or xylitol. For the cake decoration, use a powdered version of the sugar-free sweeteners.
- ללא גלוטן – Almond flour is naturally gluten-free. Then, make sure you use a gluten-free certified baking powder and a all-purpose gluten-free flour with a 1:1 ratio.
- נטול שמן – I didn’t try an oil-free version of this recipe. I am unsure how it would come out if you replaced the oil with unsweetened apple sauce but feel free to experiment and let me know.
שאלות נפוצות
Below I listed the answers to your most frequent questions about this almond cake:
No, you can’t use only almond flour in this egg-free almond flour cake. Almond flour is a low-carb flour with minimal starch, and it can’t bind the batter of the cake without the help of a high starch flour or eggs, but we don’t use eggs in our recipes.
So for this vegan almond flour cake, you must use another flour to supplement almond flour.
Yes, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract or swap half the amount of almond milk for freshly squeezed orange juice to make an orange almond cake.
Yes, with 10.6 grams of net carbs per slice, 1.4 grams of sugar (using erythritol as a sweetener), and 6 grams of protein, this cake is a very fulfilling low-carb vegan cake alternative.
More Eggless Almond Flour Recipes
I’ve listed below some more almond flour recipes without eggs:
I really would like to try this but I am low carb so could I substitute 1/2 cup of Oat Fibre for the all purpose flour.
It will not work, oat fiber is pure fiber, it will not hold the cake as all-purpose flour – you will miss the gluten structure.
Made this yesterday following directions exactly. Used plant based butter and almond milk. Turned out beautifully. Conventional oven at 370F for 40 minutes. Delicious!
Hi Carine! Thank you for sharing your recipe online. The cake turned out delicious, light, moist, fluffy. The only substitutions were canola oil instead of the vegan butter, and a rectangular pan instead of a round one. Success!
Thank you so much! It’s such a pleasure to share my recipes which baking lovers like you. Thanks for taking a minute to review the recipe too.
Hi Carine, can i use maple syrup instead of the crystal sweetener?
Unfortunately no, you can’t swap a crystal sweeetner for a liquid sweetener. You can however use coconut sugar, demerara sugar for refined sugar options.
Can you use orange juice instead of Lemon juice or apple cider vinegar? Will it lend to the same airiness? Thank you very much for sharing a great recipe!! Loved it without any changes but asking as I like orange more than Lemon!!
Absolutely! thanks for baking my recipes.
Another brilliant recipe – thank you. If making this recipe into cupcakes – would the amount of ingredients need to be altered please? Also, some almond meal seems to be as fine as almond flour so can almond meal be a sub?
Almond meal and almond flour can be very similar in some country, like here in New Zealand. While in US almond meal is darker and coarser and the flour is thinner and golden/white. The best for cakes is ultra thin almond flour with light color. It should work for 12 cupcakes, they will be pretty flat tho as this cake doesn’t raise much.
A lovely cake!
I used self-raising flour, macadamia milk and unsalted butter, it was very nice.
Thank you for the great recipe..
תודה רבה לך!
The cake is great texture wise but I could really taste the backing soda powder. If I wanted to use eggs, how many should I add? Thank you
I never bake with eggs, so I have no idea. If you are sensitive to the taste of baking soda, you can decrease by 1/4 teaspoon
My cake didn’t get brown on top
If the cake is set, it’s a problem with your oven temperature. Sugar and almonds naturally brown at 180C.
Wow! I made it tonight I was nervous at first but realized in the end that it’s not that hard. I Loved it and so did my husband and son!! I will keep making this recipe!! It was so moist and delicious and instead of doing the powdered sugar, I followed your other directions of doing the syrup with orange juice and maple syrup, and it was a huge hit!
תודה רבה לך !
