Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups Oat flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated erythritol (or sugar-free sweetener of choice)
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 4 large Egg whites
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the slivered almonds on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Slice and serve the cake as is, or enjoy it with a dollop of whipped cream or a light glaze made from sugar-free sweeteners, if desired.
