Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 120 grams Honey
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest (if using). Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand whisk to beat the eggs until frothy. Add the honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet mixture. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula if needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is completely cooled, dust it lightly with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Slice and serve with tea, coffee, or as a delightful dessert on its own.
