Almond Cake
Almond cake is a delightful fusion of nutty elegance and sweet indulgence, with almond flour lending a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (or 9-inch cake pan) with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl and stir until the cake batter has no visible dry clumps remaining. Pour the batter into the pan and top with sliced almonds.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then remove. Let the cake cool completely.
- Optional: garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar.
