Almond Flour Lemon Cake – This light, fluffy lemon cake is perfect with fresh berries and whipped coconut cream. It’s gluten free, grain free, dairy free, paleo perfection!
I *may* or may not have THREE lemon cake recipes on my blog at this very moment.
I regret nothing.
A bright, sunny lemon cake is exactly what spring and summer call for. You KNOW I love a good, dense flourless chocolate cake, or a rich chocolate tart, or a mind-blowing brownie any time. I’m a chocolate lover forever. But there is nothing like the light, citrusy goodness of a lemon cake. They’re sweet and tangy and feel so light and fresh.
I love that this one doesn’t weigh you down. It’s the perfect blend of soft and fluffy while still being substantial enough to hold up to whipped coconut cream and berries. Michael was just one bite in before announcing “I’m pretty sure I want this for my birthday.”
I don’t blame him. This almond flour lemon cake is perfection.
Plus, this one is topped with whipped coconut cream and loads of fresh berries, which launches it up to the next level. I adapted this from a Simply Recipes recipe that was the perfect starting point, then made a few changes along the way. Here are a few of the keys to success:
For one thing, you separate the egg whites and yolks. Whipping your egg whites is totally responsible for the “fluff” factor in a cake that could otherwise be quite dense. It MAKES the texture and is definitely worth doing well. I’ve got lots of tips below, so don’t fret if you’ve never done it before.
Second, the almond flour. I love that magically this cake is gluten free, dairy free AND grain free. Almond flour has a natural sweetness to it and gives such a lovely texture and flavor to the cake. I also love knowing that it’s not full of empty calories. (Does that mean it’s a health food!? Let’s say yes, shall we? 😉 )
Thirdly, brushing the fresh-from-the-oven cake with a lemon-honey glaze adds and extra lemony layer to this cake and does something magical to the surface. It stays fairly glossy and sort of caramelizes the edges of the cake. Then, the lemon and honey soaks down ever so slightly into the cake, which keeps it from going dry (though it’s certainly not soggy!).
With a few simple techniques, and a lineup of really simple, yet quality ingredients, this almond flour lemon cake is worthy of an Easter brunch, birthday party, summer cookout, or Sunday afternoon. It’s definitely on our short list of favorite desserts!
Tips for this Almond Flour Lemon Cake
Watch Me Whip-Whip. Whipping the egg whites is KEY here to creating the structure you’re looking for in the cake. The the original recipe, Elise used vinegar and sugar to help stabilize her egg whites. Since I’m using honey instead of sugar in my version, I used cream of tartar. It’s gluten free, dairy free, grain free, etc. and only contains tartaric acid. It’s excellent for adding stabilization to egg whites, and many paleo bakers use it in tandem with baking soda as a substitute for baking powder. I think it’s worth keeping on hand, if only for this recipe.
Let’s talk flour. It wouldn’t be almond flour lemon cake without almond flour! I use blanched almond flour for this recipe, which is a finely ground almond flour made from almonds with their skins removed. This is visually and texturally important, so please don’t try to substitute almond meal (which keeps skins on and is coarser). Different brands vary a bit, but I look for “finely ground, blanched almond flour.” I’ve had good luck with Honeyville, Blue Diamond, Hughson Nut, Bob’s Red Mill, and Kirkland brand, all of which I’ve been able to find at Costco at different times, where it’s 3 pounds for $10-12 instead of 1 pound at the grocery store for $8-9. Use what you like, and what you can find! NOTE: You CANNOT substitute ANY other flours for almond flour in this recipe, especially coconut flour. The ratios aren’t the same.
A tip for coconut whipped cream. If you’re not strictly paleo, I highly recommend buying SoDelicious CocoWhip (I get it at Sprouts or Natural Grocers). It’s basically coconut milk Cool Whip. It’s more stable than anything I’ve made myself, but does have added sweetener. I think it’s so lovely with the subtly-sweet cake. If you can’t find it or don’t want to use it, I recommend using this method or this method for making your own. Follow the directions to the letter, and keep the whipped cream in the fridge until the last possible moment before serving. (And, obviously, if dairy doesn’t hate you, you can totally go with classic dairy-rific whipped cream!)
Not into whipped cream? Try this! Two words: Raspberry Sauce. It makes everything better, from cake to your morning oatmeal. My favorite recipe (seen here) is about as easy as can be: frozen or fresh raspberries + lemon juice + honey. Puree, strain, and serve. Bam.

Pin RecipeDescription
A gorgeous, bright lemon cake that’s perfect for any occasion! Don’t skip the whipped coconut cream and fresh berries! (Adapted from Simply Recipes)
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 4 eggs, yolks and whites separated
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- pinch salt
- 1 1/2 cups finely ground blanched almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder*
For the Lemon-Honey Glaze:
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
To Top (Optional):
- Coconut whipped cream
- Fresh Berries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and spray with nonstick spray.
- Separate egg yolks and whites and place in two separate, VERY clean metal or glass bowls. (Egg whites will not whip if there is any grease in your bowl and they need the friction of metal or glass to whip well).
- To the yolks mixture, add honey, lemon zest, and vanilla. Stir well until smooth. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour and baking powder. Stir into yolks mixture. (Mixture will be quite thick).
- Using a hand mixer (or a whisk and a lot of elbow grease!), whip egg whites on medium speed until just frothy. Pause and add a pinch of salt and the cream of tartar.
- Continue to whip, now on high speed, until they reach the soft peaks stage. There should be no more liquid egg whites on the bottom of the bowl, and when the beaters are lifted out of the egg whites, the peaks should flop over slightly (instead of standing straight up).
- Working in 3-4 batches, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter. At first, this will seem like it might not work. Just keep going, gently using a spatula to fold the mixture together (don’t stir quickly or you’ll deflate the batter). Repeat with remaining whipped egg whites until all are incorporated into the batter. Batter will be lighter in color and very fluffy.
- Pour batter into your prepared pan and gently shake to even out the surface.
- Bake at 325 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
WHILE THE CAKE IS BAKING, make your lemon-honey glaze —
- In a small bowl or saucepan, whisk together honey and lemon juice until very smooth and well blended.
- When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Remove the springform, and while the cake still quite warm, brush with the lemon-honey glaze.
- Allow cake to completely cool before slicing, or topping with any garnishes–I prefer whipped coconut cream and fresh berries.
Notes
*If you are strictly paleo, you can substitute 2/3 tsp cream of tartar and 1/3 tsp baking soda for the 1 tsp of baking powder.

Your gluten free lemon cake recipe is the number 1 cake recipe in our house! So excited to see this new recipe! Can’t wait to try it!!
Oh happy day! That makes me SO happy!!!
i just make it was to thick came out like a coocki i dont know what i did wrong? Beatriz
Beatriz – Did you whip the egg whites until they hit the soft peaks stage? If you didn’t, your cake will not rise properly and it will be dense and heavy.
what happeng yolk got into the whites any way i will try it again ,still taste is good like a cookie mix it whit fruit is good,thanks Emily
Oh, I’m sorry. Hopefully it’s even better next time!
This cake is so beautiful! You can never have too many lemon anything recipes. This will be so great to serve at Easter.
I TOTALLY agree. Lemon forever!
I want to make this for next weekend. Do you think I could make and bake, cool, and freeze? Then defrost in fridge and frost and top with berries when ready to serve? What’s your input, please. 🙂
I absolutely do! And I think that’s exactly what you should do. Bake, cool, freeze, then thaw in the fridge, frost and add berries! 🙂
Can you tell me how many servings according to the calories listed for 1 piece?
Sure! It’s 1/8 th of the cake, so 8 servings. They’re nice, big portions! You can cut it into 12ths for smaller servings, if you like!
I’ve used almond flour before, and my family wasn’t crazy about the flavor. It could have been the recipe, but I’m not sure. Would you recommend using a mix of coconut flour and almond flour, or just sticking with the almond flour?
Jaime – Great question! I’d recommend sticking with the almond flour. In this recipe, the whipped egg whites make a huge difference in texture, and the lemon flavor really shines over any almond flavor from the almond (at least for my family).
Coconut flour is not a direct substitute for almond flour and requires significantly different proportions of ingredients. It absorbs several times its own volume in liquid, so usually coconut flour recipes require more eggs and more liquid ingredients. If you tried to substitute in some coconut flour without adjusting the other ingredients, your cake would likely come out very dry and crumbly. I haven’t tested this recipe using any other flour combination, so I don’t feel comfortable advising you about how you might go about experimenting with it.
I hope that helps! Have a great day!
It must have been the recipie, because even I cannot tell the difference in taste. If anything the almond flour cake has a richer taste, and it bakes to perfection. I was worried before I made it the first time about whether it would be moist and spongy like a successful real cake, which is sometimes hard to acheve in any cake. Using almond flour has made my cakes perfect every time! You should definitely give it another try, and this time use a good recipie like here! Looking forward to doing chocolate next time.
Thanks so much for your feedback Elizabeth! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂
Could you make this in a regular cake pan?
Yep! For easy removal, I spray the pan with nonstick spray, place an “X” of long strips of parchment paper on the bottom (these will act as handles later), then a circle of parchment over those. Then, you can easily lift it out later. (This helps prevent breaking or sticking, though you could probably get away with flipping it out of the pan and onto a baking sheet if you feel confident doing it that way).
Could the cake be made a day or 2 in advance and kept in the fridge? Or would freezing be necessary?
Katherine – It can absolutely be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. I probably wouldn’t make it 2 days ahead unless you put it in the freezer. That will help it stay as fresh as possible!
Thanks, I’m planning to try it for easter, since I’ve had to cut out dairy!
made this wonderful cake yesterday. It was super soft with a great texture and flavour.
only one issue
it seemed slightly under done in the middle even though I baked it for 30 mins. the sides were nicely browned.
any tips??
thanks
Sharmila – Hmm…did you test the center with a toothpick, by chance? If it comes away mostly clean, then the cake is done. If there are still lots of moist crumbs or batter, it’s not quite done. The lemon glaze will help keep the cake moist, so if the edges get a bit more browned, it’s ok!
Can I put lemon frosting on TOP instead of cream? Will the frosting too “heavy” for the cake? As you mentioned the cake is very fluffy n soft, thanks
Connie – I think you could totally try it! You might like the lemon glaze in this post if you don’t have a paleo one you’re using.
Thanks for the advice but I can’t have powdered sugar, what other substitutes can I use? Thanks
What frosting recipe were you planning to make instead of the whipped cream? Some people like the Swerve powdered sugar sub (made from erythritol).
Do you put the coconut cream and berries on just before serving, or can they be done a bit ahead?
Kathy – They can be done a bit ahead! It should work fine 🙂
I am on the SCD diet for Crohn’s and I am not allowed cream of tartar. Is there anything else I could use? I can use baking soda but not powder and no starches.
Thank you
Linda – Great question! The cream of tartar is meant to help stabilize the egg whites. It’s not absolutely critical and I don’t know of any non-starch options you could use as a substitute. I’d probably recommend leaving it out and being sure you get your egg whites to the soft peaks stage. I hope that helps!!
That’s great! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer.
Linda
My pleasure! I hope you love it!
Made this for a birthday and was a hit. I made it layered with a lemon curd/coco whip mix and strawberry compote. Then fresh berries on top. My oven must be running hot because I baked at 300 for the second layer and got a better result.
That sounds DELICIOUS!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!!
Hi Emily! Thanks so much for posting this recipe and being so clear about it. I followed all your tips and it turned out to be my best cake ever, so simple and yet soooo yummie! It’s definitely a keep 😉
Marissa – I’m SO GLAD!!! That just made my day. THANK YOU!
This cake was delicious! I made this for my mother’s birthday. She follows more of a Paleo style diet, but she is allergic to coconut. It’s hard to good dessert recipe without coconut flour. Thank you.
I’m SO GLAD you guys loved it! It’s just our favorite!
This cake was amazing! I made it for my Birthday with whipped cream, berries & meringue cookies! I’m excited to make it again! Have you tried making 2 and filling it? I’m thinking an lemon curd mousse and fresh berries.
Thanks for sharing this amazing recepie!
YAY! I’m so glad you loved it! I haven’t made it into a layer cake, but I bet it’d be incredible!!!
Hi Emily,
A friend has asked for a lemon cake for her Birthday only she does not eat sugar. Would you have any tips for substituting stevia for the honey? Thanks, Rhaea
Rhaea – I’m so sorry, I’ve never baked or cooked with stevia before! I’d google a stevia conversion chart. They’re usually pretty helpful!
Hi Emily, is there any substitute for the creme of tartar? I dont have it at home.
Paula – it’s primarily just to add stabilization to the egg whites. It’s not strictly required, so you could probably skip it if you don’t want to pick some up. Hope that helps!
Where do I get the coconut cream? Is it something special, or just the stuff in the can in the international foods section?
You can buy pre-whipped coconut cream (called CoCoWhip) from places like Sprouts or Whole Foods–find it near you here, or you can use this tutorial to whip your own. To make your own, you use the canned stuff 🙂
If I was to make 4 of these cakes and layer them do you think that would work? Thinking of making it for s Birthday.
Mari – It would be a very, very tall cake. (This one is at least 2-3 inches tall, so quadrupling it would make for a very high, thick cake.) I’ve never tried slicing layers in half or dividing it among different pans to bake thinner individual layers, but if I wanted to make a layer cake out of it, I’d go that route first.
Can you give me (complete novice) some guidance on cooking times and temperatures for thinner layers please.
Rob – I haven’t ever cooked this cake in thinner layers, so I’m afraid I don’t have any tested time estimates for you.
If I were doing my best guess (dividing the batter between two pans), I’d start by preparing two pans as directed (sprayed or greased and lined with parchment paper). Then, if possible, I’d use a measuring cup to measure equal amounts of batter into the pans. If you have a kitchen scale, you can make them exactly equal by weighing them. If not, just do your best to make them equal.
If you’re baking both layers in the oven at the same time, you’ll want to rotate the pans halfway through for even baking. Otherwise, just bake one layer, then repeat with the other layer.
As for timing, I’d estimate roughly half the baking time, since the layers would be half as thick. I always recommend checking a few minutes before you think you’ll need to, to prevent over-baking. So, for this recipe, if you’re making 2 thinner layers, I’d start checking the layers at about the 10-12 minute mark, and would guess they’d be completely done by about 12-15 minutes. Again, those are estimates, and the baking times will vary based on the pans you use, and the accuracy of your oven temperature. I’d recommend staying close to the oven so you can keep an eye on them.
I HOPE that helps! I wish you the best of luck!!!
I just made the cake, and it didn’t rise very much. Will it still taste good? And what did I do wrong?
Tenille – Oh dear! I’m sorry that happened…Hmmm… There are several things I’m wondering about, which might help me see where you ran into trouble:
1. Did you use baking powder or a substitution?
2. Did you use the cream of tartar?
3. Did you whip your egg whites to the soft peak stage?
4. Did you gently fold in the egg whites to the batter, or stir it all in?
Sometimes if you beat in or stir in the egg whites mixture instead of folding it, you can squish out all the air bubbles you create when you whip the egg whites.
I don’t think I whipped the egg whites long enough. I did fold them gently into the batter though. I made it for my mom for her birthday. It is a flatter cake, but do you think it will taste ok? I can’t cut into it try? Thank you for responding!!
I do think it’ll taste just fine! The texture might just be a little less light. 🙂 I hope you all love it!
Hi baked yesterday…unfortunately my cake was like Emily’s too…didn’t rise at all and feels very dense. I thought I followed all your instructions – very careful with the egg white folding, etc., The only thing was that I had to use 1/4 of the flour component (almond) with coconut flour. (I ran out of almond flour). Maybe that was it? Who knows. I’m scared to serve at party so off to the bakery I go.
I’m sure it was just me…hope you don’t mind me posting
★★
Sherri – Not at all! I would definitely think in this case it’s the coconut flour. Coconut flour is NOT a direct substitute for almond flour (or any other kind of flour). It absorbs several times its own volume in liquid, and unless you compensate by reducing the amount of coconut flour and increasing the number of eggs and amount of liquid, the results will not be the same. In this case, it almost certainly absorbed the liquid from the whipped egg whites, etc. and that’s why it ended up dry and dense. Coconut flour cannot be directly substituted for almond flour in any baking recipe without adjusting other ingredients.
Hello! Any substitutions for the eggs/whites? We are vegan & typically use flax or chia but not sure if in this cake what you would suggest? Thank you!
Faina – The whipped egg whites provide the entire structure of the cake, so you definitely can’t substitute chia or flax eggs in this recipe. (It’ll be far too dense, chewy, and flat).
I haven’t tested this myself, but the best suggestion I have would be to use aquafaba, since it’ll provide that whipped, light texture. Two great tutorials I’d recommend for aquafaba:This one from Minimalist Baker and this one from America’s Test Kitchen.
I hope that helps!
I would love to bake this with blueberries within the mixture, though I know ingredient proportions would change. Guess I’ll just have to top with blueberries instead 😁
Thank you much for the recipe 💕
Cassandra – My only concern is that the blueberries will add moisture to the cake and might sink to the bottom since the batter is so light. Otherwise, blueberries on top (and maybe even some blueberry syrup!) might be a delicious way to go!
Hi Emily, I would like to try this as a double layer cake with lemon curd center, can this recipe be doubled for 2 9” cakes?
Tracey – That sounds delicious! I haven’t tried doubling it, but I’d think it’d work! Worst case scenario, you could simply make the recipe twice (so you don’t have to over-beat the batter and accidentally deflate the whipped egg whites).
If you give it a try, I’d LOVE to hear how it goes! That lemon curd center sounds like a dream!
Hi! This was so good! I really wanted cake tonight and I’m so lucky I found this recipe first. I didn’t have everything on hand so I made 3 substitutions. I used orange zest instead of lemon, 1/4 cup sugar plus 1 Tbsp. water instead of honey, and 1 tsp lemon juice instead of cream of tarter. It didn’t rise as much probably due to the substitutions, but it was moist and delicious. One question: there was a very slight crunch, could it be that my flour wasn’t finely ground? Maybe I can run it through the food processor next time. Thanks for a great GF recipe!
Wanted to add…the cake itself was about 1 inch high but still light and fluffy.
Lisa – I’m so glad you enjoyed the cake! I’m curious what kind of almond flour did you use?
Hi Emily, the carb count looks high is it all from the honey? Could it be substituted with maple syrup?
Thx 🙂
Daniel – I haven’t tried it with maple syrup yet. I think the flavor would conflict a bit with the lemon and it may not go as golden in the oven. If you give it a go, I’d love to know how it goes!
Hi Emily,
Do you think I could do cupcakes? Also i would like to make them the night before because Im bringing them to work
I’ve never made them as cupcakes. I don’t think they’d get the “dome” effect you typically look for in cupcakes and since it’s such a moist cake, they might stick to the cupcake liners. If you do give it a try, I’d love to know how they turn out!
This sounds so yummy!! I am going to make it this weekend for my mom’s bday dinner!
I am allergic to honey, however.
Do you know what I sub for the glaze??
Nickie – You can try agave! 🙂
Great idea!! Thank you!!
My pleasure! 🙂
Hi- Will this still be a really good tasting cake without any whipped cream? The commercial brand has tons of icky ingredients and the homemade stuff still requires a sweeter other than honey so we would like to skip the whip. Don’t want to bother if the whipped topping is what makes the cake great. Thanks and thanks for having a site that has comments from people who actually made the recipe versus people who feel they need to contribute ‘nummy sounding’ to every recipe generated, as we see on many other sites.
Angie – I know what you mean! And YES, this cake will still taste awesome without whipped cream. We like it on its own a lot! I’ve also done it with raspberry puree (just pureed and strained raspberries) and with just fresh berries on top. Hope you love it if you give it a try!
Made this cake yesterday for my sister’s birthday. It was delicious and enjoyed by over 15 people. The first one I made exactly as the recipe follows, then I made a second, doubled the recipe and lined a 9×13 and it was fluffy and wonderful. Our family loves finding recipes that are gluten and dairy free (and sugar…so honey was key here too). Thank you for making my sister’s birthday special with this winner of a recipe.

Sarah, you completely made my day! I’m SO happy to hear this!!!
How did you do the lemons on the top of the cake? Just thinly sliced and twisted or did you candy them?
For these photos, I just added thinly sliced, twisted fresh lemon slices right before serving/taking photos. Candied lemon slices work much better if you’re planning to make it well ahead of time, since fresh slices can seep lemon juice. But for 1-2 hours ahead of time, thin slices of fresh lemon work great!
This is the best dessert I have ever made for my son who has to be on a paleo diet! The whole family loved it. I really liked that it has no butter in it, which my son can’t tolerate. He was thrilled which made me so happy. I will make it again!
I’m SO HAPPY to hear that! That’s wonderful!
Hi Emily! I’m wanting to make this cake for my husbands birthday but I want our infant son to be able to eat it too.
If I sub the honey for sugar should I still use the cream of tartar or something different?
CeCelia – Happy birthday to your husband! I haven’t tested this with granulated sweeteners yet, so the amounts may be different. If possible, you may want to use another liquid sweetened (like agave) here that would be ok for your son to eat.
And as for the cream of tartar – it helps stabilize the egg whites (which give the cake its structure), so you’d still keep it even if you end up trying a powdered sweetener 🙂
I hope it’s a big hit!
This recipe is a winner! I was so happy with it. I used Simple Mills vanilla frosting and fresh blueberries mounded on top. Next time, I am going to split the cake into 2 layers and add a layer of raspberry preserves. Thank you for a really great recipe!!
What a great idea! That sounds fantastic!
Have you ever doubled the recipe and baked it in a 9 x 13? I need to make enough cake for a lot of people and I was trying to figure out an easy way to do that.
Tracy – I haven’t, and I worry that the structure wouldn’t hold up in a 9×13. If you can, I’d recommend doubling the recipe and pouring it into 2 round pans instead. I hope that helps!
Thank you!
If I freeze the cake (planning to bake it 2 days before the event), will it taste as nice as freshly baked on the actual day itself or should I bake it on the day? Thanks
Connie – I think it tastes best fresh, but you *can* freeze it ahead of time if needed. (Just wait to top it till after it’s thawed)
This delicious lemon cake is just the right amount of tangy and sweet a combination that I simply adore. I will be making this for my sister’s birthday since she’s on a diet thank you for sharing!
I made this recipe for my daughter’s first birthday (we don’t give her grains, and I didn’t want refined sugar), and it was delicious!! I did less honey in the cake (two heaping tbls instead of 1/4 cup), and it was delicious. She loved the whipping cream (I used dairy heavy cream with some vanilla extract) and fresh berries on top! Thank you so much for such a lovely healthy recipe!
★★★★★
Oh that’s wonderful! Happy birthday to your daughter!!!
This AF Lemon Cake looks so pretty and yummy! Can I bake this batter in a bundt pan?!? If so, what size bundt pan do you suggest!
Thanks!
★★★★★
It’s our very favorite! It’s a very moist and rather delicate cake, so I’m not sure you’d be able to get it out of a bundt pan without it sticking. I’m sorry!
I made this cake several times and always come out really good! Very spongy, it rise really well. I’m a Paleo lover and always had troubles with the rising in the sponge cakes. No with this one!! It is a perfect cake for birthdays celebration. You can also decorate as a costume cake.
Highly recommend this recipe. Easy to make I get it done everything in less than 30 min, clean up including 🙃🙃🙂🙂
★★★★★
Natalia – THANK YOU so much for sharing this! You absolutely made my day. So glad you love it as much as we do! 🙂
This recipe is EXCELLENT!! I have made it twice, once with the lemon glaze and the second time with the whipped coconut cream and blueberries. Ahhh it was delicious! I added vanilla extract and monk fruit sweetener to the whipped coconut cream, it added an extra layer of heavenly goodness. It was fresh, yet light and complimented the lemon cake well. Thank you for posting this recipe. It is a keeper!
Katrina – What a sweet comment to wake up to this morning! I’m so glad you’ve loved the cake! It’s one of our go-to recipes for holidays and birthdays. 🙂
