Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.75 cups Coconut sugar
- 0.25 cups Arrowroot powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, arrowroot powder, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until a batter forms.
Fold in the diced apples and, if desired, the chopped walnuts or pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. This cake pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
