Expert Baking Tips For This Gluten Free Almond Cake Recipe

Although the recipe for this homemade almond cake is super simple to make here are just a few expert tips i'd recommend:

• Make sure to properly grease and flour your tart tin before pouring in the batter to prevent it from sticking. Here is a guide on how to prepare any tin perfectly - Baking 101 – How To Prepare Any Cake Pan
• Add your cherries at the same time you add your flour this way the cherries will be coated in the flour as you mix it in. This will prevent the cherries from falling to the bottom of the cake. Allowing them to be evenly distributed throughout.

This recipe features NKD Living’s almond flour and Erythritol sugar which is completely sugar free and keto friendly. 

Almond flour contains fewer carbs than regular wheat flour, making it great for those following a keto-diet.

Similarly Erythritol is a naturally derived extract from fruits and plants. And passes straight through your body undigested. Therefore, erythritol does not affect blood glucose levels and has zero net carbohydrates! Making it the perfect sugar alternative for diabetics, low carb “keto” dieters.

Transfer to your tart tin and sprinkle with some flaked almonds. Finally, bake for 20-25mins or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
