Ingredients
  

For the cake
  • 2 cups almond flour Use finely ground for best texture.
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup Can substitute with agave nectar or coconut sugar.
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3/4 cup almond milk Or any non-dairy alternative.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round 9-inch cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. For an added crunch, sprinkle the chopped almonds on top.
Baking
  1. Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

Serve with coconut whipped cream or vegan yogurt for enhanced flavor. Store leftovers wrapped tightly for 3-5 days in the fridge or freeze individual slices for longer storage.
