Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon butter for pan
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup honey real or sugar-free
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups superfine almond flour 6 ounces
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda or 2 teaspoons of baking powder, gluten-free if needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease an 8-inch nonstick cake pan with soft butter.
  2. In a large bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Gradually whisk in the honey, vanilla, almond flour, kosher salt, and baking soda. Don't over-mix the batter. An overworked batter can cause the middle of the cake to collapse as it cools.
  3. Use a spatula to transfer the batter into the prepared pan.
  4. Bake until fragrant and set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22-25 minutes.
  5. Cool the cake in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then, invert it onto the cooling rack and cool for 20 more minutes.
  6. If you wish, dust the cake with a powdered sweetener, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • This sugar-free honey worked well when I tried it. If using it, a slice has about 199 calories, 6 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of fiber.
  • I use Bob's Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour. One cup of this flour weighs 4 oz, so 1.5 cups weigh 6 ounces. It's best to measure almond flour by weight rather than by volume.
  • Occasionally, baking soda can cause a reaction in baked goods that results in an ammonia smell. If you're concerned about it happening, use 2 teaspoons of baking powder (gluten-free if needed) instead of baking soda.
  • If you'd like to frost the cake, cool it completely before frosting.
  • The cake's texture improves after being stored overnight.
  • Keep unfrosted leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Briefly warm them in the microwave (10 seconds per slice) before enjoying them. You can also freeze slices of this cake for up to three months.
