Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Whey protein powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, almond extract, and honey until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cake at room temperature. It pairs well with a scoop of Greek yogurt or fresh berries.
