Why You Need To Try Almond Flour Cake
- Easy. A really simple pour and cook recipe made in your Instant Pot.

- Delicious. The perfect amount of sweetness in a tasty little cake.
- Gluten Free. This recipe uses almond flour which is naturally gluten-free.
Why Make Cake In Your Instant Pot?
This is a recipe for an Instant Pot Keto Cake. Anyone who knows me, knows I love cake. I mean, I LOVE cake. But I'm really trying to eat low carb, and I can't eat the real thing.
I've been trying and trying, and failing and failing to bake something with almond flour that's actually worth eating. Which, by the way, is an expensive hobby, given how expensive almond flour is. I'm happy to report that I have finally managed to make a drool-worthy product that I would make and eat even if I weren't trying to low-carb.
I baked a previous version of Keto Cake and it turned out a toasty golden brown, so I know you can definitely bake this and get a great dessert. But I made this in my pressure cooker just to try it out and the result was a beautifully moist cake. I don't use any icing on this cake but I'm not a huge icing fan and honestly, it tastes really good by itself.
Is Almond Flour Good For Baking?
Almond flour is great for baking. It's especially tasty in this Almond Flour Cake. It is naturally sweet and can easily be substituted for traditional flour in many recipes.
Can I Substitute Almond Flour For Regular Flour?
The natural moisture in almond flour isn't quite the same as traditional all purpose flour. It can be a little bit moister. Generally, you can replace one part all purpose flour with one part almond flour for good results.
If you notice the batter you're making is still a little too wet, you may need to increase the amount of almond flour slightly.
Does Almond Flour Make A Cake Moist?
Almond flour is naturally more moist than all purpose flour. However, this will not make your cake moister by using it instead of another flour alone.
The eggs in this recipe and making this Almond Flour Cake in your Instant Pot will make it very moist and decadent.
How To Make Almond Flour Cake
- Mix dry ingredients
- Pour in wet ingredients and blend. Pour into a 6-inch cake pan.
- Put a steamer rack in the Instant Pot with 2 cups of water in the liner, place foil-covered cake on trivet
- High pressure for 40 minutes, with 10 mins NPR, release remaining pressure

I just have white/brown sugar at home. Do I just use 1/3 cup sugar in place of the Truvia?
Karla
I haven't tried this recipe yet. It looks good, but I am confused. The recipe calls for only 1 cup almond flour; can this be right?
TwoSleevers
Yes, this is correct. Making it in a small springform pan that is small enough to fit inside of a 6 quart Instant Pot calls for less than you're probably used to for a traditional-sized cake.
Jan
Page still missing the actual recipe...in fact whole section with the "Jump to Recipe" is missing as well as the actual recipe listing ingredients. Dying to make this recipe for little 91-year-old mother. Can anyone please post the recipe please!!!!??
URVASHI PITRE
OMG I'm such a dingbat! you are absolutely correct it was missing entirely! I just added it back in. Thanks so much for letting me know.
Jan
So grateful as my 91-year-old mother craves this as I keep her on a low inflammatory Wheat Belly diet in this time of Covid-19. Thank you so much for all your low carb/keto recipes, which keep us healthier all the time!! So glad I found your site!!
Vidya
Looks like a great recipe, but there is no ingredient list on this page...just steps to make the cake.
URVASHI PITRE
The recipe card is always at the bottom of the post. Do you see it there?
Jan
Looks like a wonderful recipe to try. However, when I hit the "Print Recipe" button, I was directed to a page with this msg: "NOT FOUND, ERROR 404." Would you please fix link error as this is a keeper?

Can we use a 6 inches in a 8quart instant pot?
URVASHI PITRE
Yes you can.
Dominique Boucher
Tthanks. And are you recipe ok for a 8 quart..just bought the ultra and people dont stop telling me to be carefull for burning because most of the recipes are for a 6 quart
Jennifer K
This looks awesome. I don't have an 6 inch pie pan on hand though...i was wondering, if i used a 8 inch one can i just bake it in the oven? if so at what temp and for how long?
Jeannine
If you make this in the mini size, o believe 3 inch pans then how low f would you pressure cook for?
Tammy
Just received your book and knew this was the first recipe t wanted to try. Pure perfection and no surprises. The cake is a taste of Fall. Do moist and the perfect texture. The recipe was so well written and easy to follow and the ingredients are what we Ketofers already have on hand.
Looking forward to many more happy meals from this book.
Kim
Hi! So first off, I've tried a few of your re ipes since my IP arrived and we LOVE them! I just made this cake, but my IP is the Lix version (manual pressure is not adjustable, and there is not pressure button). I used the cake button on high for the amount of time in the recipe, byt the middle seemed a little too wet, and didn't spring back when I touched it. Any suggestions?
URVASHI PITRE
Hmm that’s interesting. I would just cook it longer. Maybe your pan was a different size?
