Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.33 cup coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.

Step 4

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until the batter is well combined and smooth, but be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooled, serve plain or with your favorite Paleo frosting or fresh fruit.
