Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour
• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (240ml) almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
• ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional, for enhanced flavor)

For the Topping (Optional):

• Sliced almonds for decoration
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds on top for added texture and decoration.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve as is or with your favorite vegan frosting.

Tips for Success

• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
• Customization: Feel free to add flavors like lemon zest or orange zest for a citrus twist.
• Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum for best results.

This Vegan Almond Cake is not only delicious but also versatile! Enjoy it plain or dress it up with toppings for a special occasion!
