Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 60 grams Whey protein powder
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to blend evenly.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and honey using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until all ingredients are combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cool, slice the loaf into 1-inch thick slices.
Place the slices on a baking sheet and return them to the oven at 150°C (300°F).
Bake the slices for an additional 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp.
Cool the cake rusk slices completely before storing them in an airtight container.
