Tips
- The stevia sweetener is used here because we wanted to keep this flourless almond cake recipe healthy, but you can use regular white sugar if you don’t mind the extra calories.
- Almond flour adds a nice earthy flavor to the recipe. However, you can easily swap it for a ¼ cup of coconut flour.
- Similarly, walnuts and coconuts can be adjusted or replaced according to your liking. Any ground nut mix will do fine for this almond cake recipe.
- The lemon zest and juice are mainly there to add a citrusy aroma. You can use orange instead. Or you can skip this step altogether if you’re not a fan of citrus in your desserts.
