Soft Almond Cake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 cups fine almond flour that’s been blanched
02 - ¼ cup raw almond slices, plus extra for garnish
03 - 2 teaspoons of baking powder
04 - 3 large eggs
05 - ½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring
06 - 1 teaspoon almond flavoring
07 - ¼ teaspoon of salt
08 - Powdered sugar, optional, for topping
09 - ½ cup pure maple syrup
10 - 2 tablespoons of avocado or olive oil

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven to 350°F. Coat either an 8-inch round pan or springform with some oil spray.
02 - Arrange almond slices on a small sheet and bake for 4-5 min until golden. Cool them off.
03 - Combine salt, almond flour, and baking powder inside a mixing bowl.
04 - Grab a big bowl and blend together the eggs, syrup, oil, almond, and vanilla extracts until smooth.
05 - Add the dry mix to the wet one and stir just until smooth and lump-free.
06 - Pour the mix into the prepped pan and scatter toasted almonds all over the surface.
07 - Pop it in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the top has browned slightly and a toothpick comes out clean.
08 - Take out the cake and leave it in the pan to cool completely.
09 - Once the cake is cool, sprinkle on some powdered sugar and add more almond slices if you'd like.

# Notes:

01 - Fresh almond flour gives a better consistency and taste.
02 - Maple syrup sweetness can be personalized. Use less or more to suit your taste.
03 - Mix fully to keep the batter smooth and avoid clumps.
04 - Be sure to oil your baking pan thoroughly to stop sticking issues.
05 - Switch up the toppings! Use powdered sugar or almond slices to change the vibe.
