Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 120g Unsalted butter, softened
  • 150g Granulated sugar
  • 150g Almond flour (certified gluten-free)
  • 4 Large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder (gluten-free)

Optional Garnishes

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh berries or fruit
  • Glaze or honey drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan with almond flour. Ensure butter is softened and measure all ingredients accurately.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This incorporates air essential for a tender crumb.
  3. Add Eggs One at a Time: Slowly add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition to maintain a smooth and aerated batter.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the almond flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to keep the batter light.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Garnish: Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing. Dust with powdered sugar or top with your choice of fresh fruit, glaze, or honey drizzle.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for better mixing and fluffier texture.
  • Measure almond flour precisely using a kitchen scale for consistent results.
  • Fold dry ingredients gently to avoid a dense cake.
  • Check doneness a few minutes before the minimum baking time as ovens vary.
  • Use a light-colored, non-stick pan to prevent excessive browning.
