Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Parchment paper (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour make sure it's finely ground
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted (plus extra for greasing)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder optional, for a lighter texture
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting optional

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the cake bakes evenly.
  • Prepare the Cake Pan: Grease the 9-inch round cake pan with a little butter and line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal after baking.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. Then add the melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until fully combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay!
  • Pour into the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve: Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve!
  • Variations
  • Chocolate Almond Cake: Add ¼ cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients for a chocolate twist.
  • Citrus Almond Cake: Incorporate the zest of one lemon or orange for a refreshing flavor.
  • Nut-Free: Substitute almond flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (not suitable for those with nut allergies).
