Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Almond Flour
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
- 1/2 cup Crystal Sweetener of Choice
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond Milk
- 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/3 cup Dairy-Free Butter (Unsalted, melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract
Toppings
- 1/3 cup Sliced Almonds
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Sweetener
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with oil or vegan butter and line the bottom with greased parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and crystal sweetener. Whisk thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of all ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the almond milk, melted dairy-free butter, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Mix Batter: Use a silicone spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until just combined and no flour lumps remain. Avoid over-mixing to prevent a gummy texture.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared cake pan. Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter, then gently press them down to help them adhere.
- Bake: Place the cake in the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in Pan: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. It’s normal for the cake to flatten slightly during this time.
- Transfer to Wire Rack: Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely for 1-2 hours before slicing.
- Serve: Before serving, dust the top of the cake with powdered sweetener for an elegant finish.
- Store: Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use a dairy-free butter alternative to keep the recipe vegan.
- The apple cider vinegar reacts with baking soda to help the cake rise without eggs.
- Do not over-mix the batter to avoid a dense or gummy texture.
- You can substitute crystal sweetener with granulated sugar or a sugar alternative of choice.
- Make sure to line the cake pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to maintain structure.
