Almond Cake

Gluten-Free? Yeah! This cake was perfect. The recipe is from Delish.com.

I cut the recipe in 1/2 using a 6-inch springform pan. Just a perfect size for the two of us.

ALMOND CAKE FOR 2

Cooking spray

1 c. almond flour (224 g.)

Method-

Preheat oven to 350º with the rack in the middle. Generously coat a 6-inch springform pan with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, stir almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients with a spoon until combined.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until golden all over and firm on top, 30 to 35 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and let cool before serving with any of the toppings listed above.
