Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 0.75 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed and no lumps remain.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs well until they are fluffy. Add the unsweetened applesauce, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can make the cake dense.
Step 5
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly into the corners and smooth the top.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Slice and serve the cake as desired. Enjoy plain or pair with a Whole30 compliant icing or fresh fruits.
