Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease an 8-inch pan or two 6-inch pans. I like to add a square of parchment paper to the bottom of the pan, to ensure that my cake will come out later.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to break up any clumps. Then add eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir again until the batter looks smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake at 350ºF until the top is golden and the center of the cake is firm to the touch, about 30 minutes. (Check smaller 6-inch pans after 25 minutes.)
Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Then run a knife around the edge of the pan and set a serving plate on top. Flip the pan and plate over together, so the cake will safely drop onto the plate. Let it cool completely before frosting, or top it with fresh fruit and powdered sugar.

Notes

Nutrition information is for 1 of 12 slices without toppings. This is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
Update Note: This recipe was updated in March 2024 to add almond extract for extra almond flavor. I accidentally made this new version without the coconut oil and loved the results, so I removed that, too! But you can always find the original recipe here if you prefer.
