Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 120 grams Honey
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest (if using). Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, use a hand whisk to beat the eggs until frothy. Add the honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet mixture. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula if needed.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Once the cake is completely cooled, dust it lightly with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Step 9
Slice and serve with tea, coffee, or as a delightful dessert on its own.
