Ingredients
- 150 grams Amaretti cookies (dairy-free)
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 80 milliliters Neutral dairy-free oil (e.g., vegetable or sunflower oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse the dairy-free amaretti cookies until they are fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl with the cookie crumbs. Whisk together to combine and set aside.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy, about 1–2 minutes.
Step 5
Slowly whisk in the almond milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is smooth and everything is well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few crumbs (but no wet batter).
Step 9
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 10
Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired, slice, and serve. Enjoy!
