How to Make Nut Cake Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Separate 4 large eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and the 4 egg yolks until well combined and pale in color.
  4. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups finely ground nuts (pecans recommended), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend (or spelt, whole wheat, or almond meal). Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing the rim of the springform pan.
  8. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
