Equipment

  • 9" spring form baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup/150 grams ground almond flour
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • ½ cup coconut/brown sugar or honey/maple syrup- choose one
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ cup e.v.olive oil
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom or cinnamon
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • fresh mixed berries like strawberry, blueberry, blackberry and raspberry

Cream

  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp sugar or honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • grease and line a 9” spring-form cake pan with parchment paper. Mix the dry ingredients: almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, spices if using and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Be sure to break up any clumps.
  • In a separate bowl, add the 3 whole eggs and beat on medium-high speed with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a standing mixer till the volume of the beaten eggs has increased, and the texture has gone from liquid to thick and foamy (like the foam of a cappuccino). The color will be light yellow (~ 5 minutes). Add the honey and olive oil into the foamy eggs and beat the mixture until thoroughly combined.
  • Add half the sliced almonds to the batter. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients with a silicone spatula till smooth and homogenous. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining almond slices evenly on top.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown on top, firm, and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the cake. Enjoy with fresh berries and whipped cream (recipe follows).

Whipped Cream

  • In the bowl of a small food processor add the cream. Run until soft peaks are formed. Add cream creese, vanilla, honey or sugar and pulse until smooth. Add the greek yogurt and pulse a couple more times until completely smooth and everything is well incorporated. Keep chilled and serve with the cake.
