🧁 How to Make Cinnamon Yogurt Cake with Almond Flour
1. Prep & Mix
Preheat to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease and line your pan. In a bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth. In another, combine almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
2. Combine Batter
Gently fold wet into dry until just incorporated, filling the bowl with that cinnamon-nutty scent—it’s dreamy!
3. Bake to Perfection
Pour into the pan, smooth the top, and bake 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The kitchen fills with warm spice—a guarantee you’re on the right track!
4. Cool & Serve
Let rest for 10 min in pan, then transfer to a rack. Slice when slightly warm or at room temperature.
🍽️ What to Serve with Cinnamon Yogurt Cake
This cake pairs beautifully with:
- A steaming mug of coffee or chai latte
- Fresh fruit (berries or sliced pear)
- A dollop of whipped cream or yogurt
Present it on a pretty plate, dust with cinnamon, and add a sprig of mint for a charming finish.
💡 Tips for Making It Perfect
- Room-temp eggs/yogurt: Ensures smooth batter without lumps.
- Don’t overmix: Preserve tender crumb.
- Watch bake time: Almond flour can brown quickly—cover loosely with foil if the top darkens too fast.
- Prep-ahead hack: Mix batter the night before; bake fresh in the morning.
🧊 Storage Instructions
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze slices up to 1 month—just thaw at room temp or warm in the oven briefly.
For reheating, pop on a low heat (275 °F) for 5 minutes.

❓ Frequently Asked Question
1. Can I use oat or coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Yes—use 1:1 for oat, or about ¾ for coconut flour. You may need extra binder like an additional egg.
2. Is it keto-friendly?
Almond flour fits keto, but maple syrup doesn’t. Use no-carb sweetener to keep it low-carb.
3. Can I omit the yogurt?
Yes, but replace it with equal mashed banana or applesauce for moisture.
4. Can I add fruit or chocolate chips?
Absolutely—fold in ½ cup before baking, but reduce liquid slightly to avoid sogginess.
5. Why didn’t my cake rise?
Check your baking powder for freshness; old powder may not activate well.
6. How do I get slices that don’t crumble?
Cool completely and use a serrated knife for cleaner slices.
