2 tbsp milk optional for extra moisture

8-inch round cake pan
Measuring cups and spoons

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the cake pan or line with parchment paper.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs with coconut sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients. Add milk if needed for a smooth batter.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Almond flour may make the cake denser than regular flour; avoid overmixing to keep it light.
