Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups Almond Flour
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Oil, melted
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Preheat and Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and almond extract.

Add Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.

Cool and Serve

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Top with fresh berries, whipped coconut cream, or a drizzle of honey.
