This tender and fluffy almond flour chocolate cake is sweetened with a touch of honey.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour (blanched, finely ground (4 oz)*)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder ((not Dutch processed) )
  • 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or a pinch of sea salt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda**

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a nonstick 8-inch cake pan with soft butter. Make sure the pan is truly nonstick. You can also use a well-greased 9-inch ceramoc or glass pie plate.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Gradually whisk in the almond flour and cocoa powder.

  4. 4

    Finally, whisk in the salt and baking soda. The batter will be fairly thin.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in it comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Cool the cake on a cooling rack until it reaches room temperature, about 30 minutes, then slice and serve. Keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to a week.
