Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.33 cup coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until the batter is well combined and smooth, but be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve plain or with your favorite Paleo frosting or fresh fruit.
