Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 whole Zest of a lemon
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy, about 2 minutes. You can use an electric mixer for better results.
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon zest to the eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of the batter, distributing them evenly.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake. Enjoy your low-carb almond cake as a delicious dessert or snack!
