Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.33 cup Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two 8-inch round cake pans with coconut oil and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps and to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until a thick batter forms.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula to ensure they bake evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in their pans for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the cakes are completely cooled, you can frost them with your favorite paleo-friendly frosting or enjoy them as is.
