Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 3/4 cup Erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/2 cup Poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, poppy seeds, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Alternate adding the almond flour mixture and almond milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as is, or with a light dusting of powdered erythritol if desired.
