Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (nut-free alternative like oat milk is acceptable)
• 3 whole Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Sugar-free sweetener (such as erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or stevia blend)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (or dairy-free margarine for a dairy-free option)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter (or margarine) with the sugar-free sweetener using an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the flour mixture and the almond milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Optional: Dust the top with a light layer of powdered sugar-free sweetener or serve with a dollop of whipped cream for presentation.
