Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 3/4 cup Erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/2 cup Poppy seeds
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Almond milk
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, poppy seeds, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Alternate adding the almond flour mixture and almond milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve as is, or with a light dusting of powdered erythritol if desired.
