Baking Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix together the honey (or maple syrup), eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Cake

    Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
