Here is a surprising treat with yogurt and honey: this almond cake recipe is the perfect bite for your afternoon cup of tea or coffee! It is so incredibly light and fluffy…
Try it out!
Here is how this almond cake was born.
I got this opened container of yogurt in my fridge.
I made fried eggplants in yogurt sauce last night.
And it slowly comes close to its expiring date…
I could just chuck it in a bowl and add some fruits and stuff to it for breakfast or as a light and healthy afternoon snack.
Easy Almond Cake Recipe with Yogurt & Honey
But because I have this friend coming over for a cup of coffee this afternoon, I think I should perhaps make a treat with that yogurt.
How about I dust off my baking skills and give it a go. So how about making a yogurt cake today!
Well I have to admit that I kind of went a little freestyle here for this cake recipe.
I am not an experienced baked or dessert maker.
And I can get a little lost in my own kitchen when it comes to baking. So as always I try to step up my game and wing it.
Experiment
For this almond cake recipe I didn’t follow a strict recipe.
To be very honest I picked up a bunch of ingredients from my pantry and cupboards and went to work.
And my end goal was to come up with a fairly good looking batter. Pour it in the cake tin and pop the whole lot in a preheated oven.
And then just sit back, clean up the mess in my kitchen. Pour myself a cup of coffee and keep my fingers crossed that something presentable and edible would come out of it later on.
And to my surprise it did!
Gluten Free or Not?
The cake was fluffy and soft.
Perfect sweetness and flavor. A real treat. And it looked very pretty too! I am stoked now, I can’t wait for my guest to turn up and put the almond cake on the table.
I can hear you ask: is this almond cake recipe a gluten free one?
No, because I still added a little self-raising flour to it.
But I have made almond cakes before with fine almond meal only. So if you want to turn this one into a gluten free one, then you can replace the flour by almond meal.

Easy Almond Cake Recipe with Yogurt – KitchenAid Cook Processor
What a surprising treat with yogurt and honey: this almond cake recipe is the perfect bite for your afternoon cup of tea or coffee!
Did you know that the KitchenAid Cook Processor is a great tool to make cake batters?
Because you don’t have any messy countertops or a stack of sticky bowls to clean afterwards. I loved the fact that I could also blend the peeled almonds using the powerful MultiBlade for this almond cake.
Cake Batters
Once you add all the wet ingredients and then let the Cook Processor do its job, the batter is stirred at a constant pace and reduces the risk of beating all the air out of the egg white, which is also responsible for the cake to become airy and fluffy.
One minute is really enough here. Another cake batter that turned out just perfect!
