Almond-Tahini Cake
This light and airy cake is made up of almond flour and egg whites for more protein and topped with a sweet tahini glaze. Perfect with tea and to share with your loved ones.
Ingredients
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup mild oil (like vegetable or avocado)
1 tbs orange juice
1 tsp almond extract
1.5 cup almond flour
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar (can add extra 1/4 cup if not using glaze)
1.5 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
1/2 cup Eggland’s Best 100% Egg Whites
Tahini Glaze
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup tahini
3-4 tbs almond milk (can use more for thinner glaze)
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Grease and flour loaf pan. (You can double the recipe and use a bundt pan.)
- Combine wet ingredients in a bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Add wet to dry and whisk until incorporated.
- In a separate clean bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Fold into cake batter.
- Pour batter into greased and floured pan and bake for 28-30 minutes. (Insert a toothpick to check. Cake is done when toothpick comes out clean.)
- Cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from pan.
- While cake is cooling, whisk together ingredients for tahini glaze.
- Tahini will clump initially, but keep mixing until smooth.
Recipe Notes: Cake freezes well so can be made ahead (even with glaze!)
