Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup low-carb sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 tsp baking powder (optional, for fluffiness)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
- Pinch of salt
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add vanilla extract if using, mixing until fully combined.
- Make Batter: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until a smooth batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a fluffier texture, you can add baking powder to the batter.
- Use a fine almond flour to achieve the best crumb and texture.
- Sweetener amounts can be adjusted to taste depending on your preferred level of sweetness.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Optional: Add a handful of sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
