Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Almond extract
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Slivered almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and vegetable oil to the almond milk mixture. Whisk until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the slivered almonds evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
