I must say that this Snickerdoodle Cake was certainly fluffy, anddecadentlydelicious! I have loved snickerdoodle cookies since I was very young.
So being able to craft a recipe that was able to really master and pinpoint that snickerdoodle flavor I loved so much from my childhood was just splendid!

What kind of almond flour do you use? When I bought some previously, it wasn’t finely ground enough in my opinion.

I apologize for the late response, but I use Bob’s Red Mill. I find it to be finely grounded, but it is considered both a flour and meal.

This cake sure looks GOOD! I’m not eating many desserts these days, but will definitely try this when I start them up again.

looks wonderful, what kind of brown sugar substitute are you using? I could only find the splenda blend which has too much sugar. thanks!

I used a great value brand, which I’m sure is just as high in sugar. But I plan on trying a low/0 carb brown sugar mix that I’ve heard a lot of good things about!

Care to share the name? I like the taste of brown sugar better than white and am sad to have to avoid it!

Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been trying to create a resource for all low carbers. Theres a link on my right sidebar and on my top navigation bar which has my low carb shopping resource page. Hopefully it helps 🙂

DiabetiSweet has a brown sugar choice that is cup for cup like brown sugar but is a substitute. I use it often!

This is awesome. Picky boyfriend liked it too! I feel like it would make a good dough for carrot cake too.

Glad you both enjoyed it! I think that would be a great idea for using it for carrot cake! I’ll have to put it on my list of things to try 🙂

This looks amazing!!! I too am a diehard snickerdoodle fan but the storebought are aaaawful 🙁
What’s the xanthan gum do? Is it to stabilize or thicken or?? I’m curious bc the cookie recipe has cream of tartar – to stabilize egg whites and I assume bind the cookies together but keep them soft? I don’t have cream of tartar so I thought I’d make this cake instead – but I also don’t have xanthan gum! lol. Which is more worthwhile to get and do they serve the same purpose?Reply

Thanks for the work you put into your website. So many recipes and so little time! I made your Snickerdoodle cake yesterday and while it was, indeed, as moist as your note indicates, it was rather bland. No one taste/flavor popped out. I wish it had delivered on the “Snickerdoodle-y” title! Likewise, it took nearly twice as long to bake as the recipe indicated. Thanks!
