Ingredients for this Delicious Turmeric Almond Flour Cake
Cake Dough & Dry Mix Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- Vanillin
- 1/2 tsp turmeric - optional (for color)
- 150 g flour
- 10 g baking powder
- 110 g vegetable oil (I used a mix of coconut oil and grapeseed oil)
- 40 g almond flour
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 70 g sugar
- 1 tbsp nut flour
- 2 tbsp flour
- 3 tbsp cinnamon
For the Cinnamon-Sugar “Wave” in the Center
- 20 g brown sugar
For the Irresistible Crunchy Topping
- 40 g coconut oil (or butter)
Simple Baking Instructions for Your Turmeric Almond Flour Cake
- Prepare Topping and Wave: First, in a small bowl, thoroughly mix the ingredients for the crunchy cake topping with a fork and set aside. In another bowl, prepare your cinnamon-sugar wave mixture by combining the sugar with cinnamon.
- Start the Cake Batter: For the main almond flour cake dough, mix the two types of flour (all-purpose and almond flour) with the vegetable oil in a separate bowl and set aside.
- Whip Eggs and Combine: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar and vanilla until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Gently fold this aerated egg mixture into the oil-flour mixture in 2-3 careful stages, ensuring the batter remains airy.
- Assemble Your Cake: Carefully pour half of the turmeric almond flour cake batter into your prepared pan. Evenly add the cinnamon-sugar “wave” mixture in the center, then pour the remaining cake batter on top to cover the wave. Finally, spread the prepared crunchy topping mixture evenly over the entire surface of the cake.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake your homemade turmeric almond cake for 45-50 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F). Enjoy your freshly baked almond flour cake with a crunchy topping!
