Equipment

  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Small saucepan
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 240 g almond flour about 2 cups
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 120 g maple syrup about 1/2 cup
  • 60 g melted coconut oil about 1/4 cup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 60 ml unsweetened almond milk about 1/4 cup
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until no lumps remain.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Stir until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until fully incorporated. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze by heating maple syrup, coconut oil, and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Let it cool slightly after melting.
  • After baking, let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes

For best results, measure your almond flour by weight for accuracy. Let the cake cool completely before adding the glaze to avoid sogginess. Experiment with spices like nutmeg or cardamom for more flavor. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Freezing individual slices lasts up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving. Consider toasting the walnuts before adding them to the batter.
