Gluten-Free Greek Honey Almond Sheet Cake

With this Gluten-Free Greek Honey Almond Sheet Cake recipe you can have your cake and eat it, too – metaphorically speaking. Made with almond flour instead of regular gluten-free flour, honey instead of white sugar, and olive oil instead of vegetable oil, you get to maintain your healthy goals and eat cake, too!

I made this recipe with Wholesome’s Organic Honey in honor of their “Let’s Bake Things Better” campaign, which focuses on fair trade, high-quality ingredients that are better for you than the white sugar so commonly found in baked goods. Did you know that honey can often be mixed with other, cheaper ingredients like corn syrup? That’s why it’s important to ensure you’re buying honey from a trusted source, like Wholesome! This is all part of baking things better.

This cake is easy to make and goes well topped with dairy-free ice cream for a bit of extra indulgence.

We have plenty more gluten-free recipes using honey that you’ll love!
