Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Oat flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated erythritol (or sugar-free sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 4 large Egg whites
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the slivered almonds on top for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake as is, or enjoy it with a dollop of whipped cream or a light glaze made from sugar-free sweeteners, if desired.
