Flourless Almond Cake:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Mix well.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Bake:
- Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Raspberry Sauce:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
- Cook Raspberries:
- In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Simmer:
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
- Strain (Optional):
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can strain the mixture to remove the seeds. Press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
