Flourless Almond Cake with Raspberry Sauce

This decadent, nutty cake is gluten-free, naturally sweet, and moist, with a tangy raspberry sauce to balance the richness. Its simplicity lets the almond flavor shine, while the sauce adds freshness and color.

Ingredients

For the Cake

1 cup (100 g) almond flour (finely ground, blanched almonds preferred)
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for extra almond flavor)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Raspberry Sauce

1 cup (125 g) fresh or frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon water

Optional Garnish

Powdered sugar
Fresh raspberries
Toasted almond slices

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven & Pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

2. Make the Cake Batter

In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, vanilla extract, almond extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients with the almond flour mixture until well blended.

3. Whip Egg Whites

In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the almond batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

4. Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then release the springform and cool completely on a wire rack.

5. Make the Raspberry Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes).
Strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

6. Serve

Slice the cooled cake.
Drizzle with raspberry sauce.
Optional: dust with powdered sugar, top with fresh raspberries, and sprinkle toasted almond slices for texture.

Tips for Success

Almond flour: Use finely ground, blanched almonds for a smooth texture.
Egg whites: Make sure no yolk gets in the whites, or they won’t whip properly.
Storage: Cake keeps in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Raspberry sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Variations: Swap raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or a chocolate ganache drizzle.

This Flourless Almond Cake with Raspberry Sauce is naturally gluten-free, nutty, and moist, with the tangy sauce balancing the richness — perfect for a holiday dessert or elegant dinner party centerpiece.
