Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl Large
- 1 Hand mixer Or stand mixer
- 1 8-inch cake pan Greased and lined
- 1 Spatula For folding and smoothing
- 1 Measuring cups
- 1 Cooling rack Optional, for faster cooling
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Almond Flour
- ¾ cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 3 large Eggs
- ½ cup Butter or Coconut Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ¼ cup Sliced Almonds (optional)
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup ground almonds
Instructions
- Heat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures that your oven is at the right temperature when it’s time to bake, which is crucial for even cooking.
- Prepare Your Pan: Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or coconut oil, then line it with parchment paper. This prevents the cake from sticking to the pan, making it easier to remove once baked.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a spacious bowl, whisk the almond flour, sugar, and baking powder together. Whisking helps to break up any lumps in the almond flour and ensures that the sugar and baking powder are evenly distributed.
Notes
- You can use almond flour instead of ground almonds for a finer texture.
- Add a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple glaze for a sweeter finish.
- Cake keeps well in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
