Almond Fudge Cake
This almond cake is very moist and the recipe is simple and easy to follow. The results are excellent every time I make it. I love the addition of brown rice flour. You may also make your own almond milk for the cake.
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
2 tsp baking powder (non-aluminum baking powder)
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups turbinado sugar
2 1/3 cups almond milk (here’s a healthy, delicious homemade version)
1/2 cup coconut or vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp almond flavoring
Ingredients
Just finished baking
Preheat oven at 375 degrees, grease two 8-inch cake pans and line bottom with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl combine whole wheat flour, brown rice flour, baking powder and salt and mix well. In a medium bowl, mix almond milk, oil, vanilla, almond flavor and sugar. Whisk liquid mixture into the dry mix and stir until moistened. Transfer batter into the two cake pans and bake for 30 minutes or until table knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
1/4 cup carob powder
1/2 cup almond butter (Here’s a great homemade almond butter recipe)
2 Tbsp coconut milk
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup or agave
1 tsp almond flavoring
1 tsp vanilla flavoring
Place all ingredients in a bowl using an electric mixer, mix until smooth. Frost cake layers as shown when cooled.

Shauna, thanks for you observation. The Pero is actually optional, I’ll go ahead and edit the frosting.
So I see the pic and there is a container of Pero but in the description of the ingredients I don’t see it being mentioned.
Alyssa you could do that but I will suggest that you add another gluten free flour such as sorghum flour and tapioca starch. Also add 1 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum or guar gum to your recipe to hold the cake together. Remember this is not a recipe only suggestion. Best Regards
Would this recipe work with only brown rice flour? I am trying to find a cake I can make that is gluten & dairy free for the hubby. He is on a very strict diet no sugar except stevia, so carbs are a no-no. Thanks :)
Thanks Jessica, lately I”m having a great time with brown rice flour, amaranth, quinoa also. I hope you like it!
Thank you, i hope you’ll enjoy!
Mandie, now you can truly have your cake and eat it!
This looks amazing! I love how you use brown rice flour (my new obsession) and I think the almond extract + chocolate will taste amazing when I make this ASAP!!
The dark frosting is really enticing…A must try!
I love making desserts healthier! This almond fudge cake looks absolutely diving— you would never know it’s good for you. Anything with fudge in it has my name on it. Yum!
