Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs (optional)
Fresh berries (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
