→ Toppings
09 -
1/4 cup of sliced, raw almonds (and extra if desired for serving)
10 -
Optional: powdered sugar to sprinkle on top
# Instructions:
01 -
Set the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch round or springform pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
Spread sliced almonds out on a small baking sheet and place in the oven for about five minutes. Watch close so they don't burn! Remove once golden, then let them cool.
03 -
Grab a medium-sized bowl and stir together your almond flour, salt, and baking powder until it's evenly mixed.
04 -
In a bigger bowl, whisk the eggs with maple syrup, oil, and both extracts (vanilla and almond) until it all looks smooth and blended.
05 -
Add your dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until there's no clumps left in the batter.
06 -
Pour the batter into the pan you greased earlier. Spread the toasted almonds evenly over the top.
07 -
Pop the pan in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. It should come out golden on the top, and a toothpick poked in should come out clean.
08 -
Let the cake cool in the pan. Before serving, you can sprinkle over extra raw almonds and a bit of powdered sugar if you like.
