Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups of almond flour
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup of melted unsalted butter
- 1/8 teaspoon of strong vanilla flavoring
For the Raspberry Sauce:
- 2 cups of unsweetened raspberries
- ¼ cup of granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup of lemon juice
Preparation Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is evenly mixed to avoid any lumps.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla flavoring until smooth and well-combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and everything is fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing it out evenly.
- Bake the cake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The top should turn a light golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Raspberry Sauce Instructions
- Make the raspberry sauce: While the cake is cooling, prepare the raspberry sauce by combining the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
