Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, almond milk, and almond extract until smooth.
Melt the coconut oil in a small microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the wet ingredients. Whisk to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the cake dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
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 before serving.
Enjoy your sugar-free vanilla almond cake plain or with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or fresh berries.
