Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans with coconut oil or line them with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
