Materials

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
