Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened applesauce
- 60 milliliters Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Grated apple
- 30 grams Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
Peel, core, and grate the medium apple. Fold the grated apple into the batter to add natural sweetness and moisture.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the surface of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is or with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream, if desired.
