Ingredients
- ¼ cup sliced raw almonds plus more for serving
- 2 cups fine blanched almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- powdered sugar for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and spray an 8” springform pan or 8" round cake pan with cooking spray.
- Once oven is preheated add sliced almonds to a small baking tray and place in the oven to toast for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Watch closely to make sure they don’t burn! Once toasted, remove from oven and set aside to cool.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients (almond flour, baking powder and salt).
- In a separate large mixing bowl whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, maple syrup, oil, vanilla extract and almond extract) until smooth and combined.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix together until fully combined and smooth.
- Transfer batter to your prepared springform pan. Evenly sprinkle toasted almond slices on top of the cake.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until top is slightly golden and toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan. One cool, sprinkle powdered sugar on top with additional raw almond slices if desired and serve!

- Storage: Keep the almond cake covered at room temperature for 2–3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze it (well-wrapped) for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, simply thaw at room temperature or in the fridge.
