Yield: 12
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- ½ cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract optional, but recommended
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- ¼ cup powdered sugar optional
Oil the pan. Set the oven's temperature to 175°C/350°F. Grease a springform pan or 9-inch cake pan from bottom to top. For simpler removal, you may also cover the pan's bottom with parchment paper.
Blend the dry components. Mix the baking soda, salt, and almond flour in a large mixing basin.
Blend moist ingredients. Whisk the eggs, honey, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a separate medium dish. After that, mix the wet and dry ingredients and whisk until a cake batter is formed.
Work on the cake. After adding the batter to the buttered pan, sprinkle the almond slices on top. To ensure a clean toothpick comes out, bake for 30 minutes. After the cake has cooled for fifteen minutes in the pan, take it out and let it cool fully on a wire rack.
Serve the cake with the easy almond topping of slices, or add a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
