Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Whisk the egg yolks with the vanilla, then whisk in the milk and salt. 0:16
- Add the almond flour and baking powder and mix well into a thick batter. 0:38
- In another clean bowl whisk the egg whites with the vinegar (by hand or with a mixer). When frothy, add the stevia and keep beating to stiff peaks. 0:58
- Stir a dollop of the whites into the almond batter to loosen it, then add the rest and fold in gently. 1:34
- Pour into an 8 × 4-inch (20 × 10 cm) loaf pan lined with baking paper and scatter flaked almonds over the top. 2:28
- Bake 20–25 minutes, until golden and set. 2:52
- Let it cool down, then slice and serve. 2:58
Tip. The cook gives no number of slices; 8 is our estimate for the loaf. Whisking the whites by hand works; a hand mixer is faster. Baking time depends on your oven.
The method is a summary in our words — the video shows every step.
One portion, 1 slice (1/8 cake), gives you 1 of 8

Vitamin B127%
0.2 µg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (72%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Zinc6%

Calcium5%
59 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (63%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Iron4%
0.8 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (69%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Folate4%
17 µg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (55%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Potassium3%
150 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (68%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Vitamin A3%
29 µg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (84%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin B63%
0 mg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (48%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin D2%
0.4 µg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (79%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin C0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from milk (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin K0%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (75%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Omega-30%
0 g a serve, mostly from egg yolks (89%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
