Easy Almond Cake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - ¼ teaspoon salt
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 2 cups blanched almond flour, finely ground

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1 teaspoon almond flavoring
05 - ½ cup of syrup made from maple
06 - ½ teaspoon extract of vanilla
07 - 3 whole eggs
08 - 2 Tablespoons of oil (olive or avocado)

→ Toppings

09 - Powdered sugar for sprinkling (optional)
10 - ¼ cup raw almond slices, extra for topping if needed

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven on to 350°F. Spray cooking oil onto an 8-inch round or springform pan to keep things non-stick.
02 - Place almonds on a small tray, bake for 4-5 minutes, and don’t forget to keep an eye out for browning. Set aside so they can cool.
03 - Stir together the almond flour, a couple of teaspoons of baking powder, and the salt in a medium-sized bowl.
04 - In a bigger bowl, whisk the eggs, maple syrup, oil, almond flavor, and vanilla extract until the mixture’s nice and smooth.
05 - Take your dry mix and add it into the wet one. Stir everything together until it looks like a smooth batter.
06 - Pour the batter into your greased pan. Scatter those toasted almonds evenly over the top.
07 - Pop the pan in and cook for 20-25 minutes. Know it’s ready when the top’s golden, and a toothpick comes out clean.
08 - Let the cake rest in the pan until it’s completely cool. Dust with powdered sugar or throw on extra almond slices if you like.

# Notes:

01 - Serve it at breakfast, for dessert, or even as a snack on the side.
02 - It uses nutritious stuff like maple syrup and almond flour.
03 - Works great with either olive or avocado oil—your call.
