Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups cups almond flour
  • 3/4 cup sweetener (like agave syrup or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup almond milk or any non-dairy milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetener, applesauce, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk.
  • Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before removing from the pan and serving.

Notes

  1. Almond Flour: Make sure to use finely ground almond flour for a smoother cake texture. Almond meal can also be used, but it will result in a coarser texture.
  2. Sweetener: The type and amount of sweetener can be adjusted based on personal preference. If you're using a granulated sweetener, you might need to slightly increase the almond milk to maintain the cake's moisture.
  3. Applesauce: This acts as a binder in the recipe, replacing the eggs. If you don’t have applesauce, mashed bananas or yogurt can also be used as a substitute, although this will change the flavor profile.
  4. Coconut Oil: If you're not a fan of the coconut flavor, you can use refined coconut oil which has a more neutral taste. Alternatively, melted unsalted butter or a mild olive oil can be used in equal measure.
  5. Baking Time: Oven temperatures can vary, so start checking the cake at around 20 minutes to avoid over-baking. The cake should be golden brown on top when done.
  6. Add-ins: Feel free to get creative! Mix in chocolate chips, berries, or nuts. If you're adding fresh fruit, this might increase the baking time slightly.
  7. Storage: While this cake tastes best when fresh, if you need to store it, consider refrigerating to retain its moisture. Before serving, you can warm it up slightly in the oven or microwave.
  8. Toppings: This cake pairs wonderfully with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
  9. Serving Suggestion: Pair a slice of this almond flour cake with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.
  10. Dietary Considerations: This cake is gluten-free and egg-free, making it suitable for those with specific dietary restrictions. However, always double-check the labels of individual ingredients if catering to severe allergies.
