Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond Flour
- 2 tablespoons Matcha Powder
- 0.75 cup Erythritol Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 cup Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, matcha powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed and set aside.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and frothy. Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake 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, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with a light sprinkle of matcha powder for garnish, if desired.
Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for added flavor and texture.
