Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups (200g) blanched almond flour (not almond meal)
1 tsp (5g) baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
½ tsp (3g) baking soda (ensure freshness)
¼ tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients:
3 large eggs (150g), room temperature
1 cup (240g) full-fat Greek yogurt
¼ cup (85g) raw honey or pure maple syrup
1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract (or ½ vanilla bean)
Instructions
Preheat Oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment and grease the sides.
Whisk Eggs in a large bowl for 3 minutes until pale and frothy.
Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually whisk in yogurt, then slowly stream in honey or maple syrup. Stir in vanilla.
Sift Dry Ingredients into a separate bowl. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet in 3 batches using a spatula until just combined.
Transfer Batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake 40–45 minutes, rotating the pan at the 30-minute mark.
Check Doneness: Cake is ready when the internal temperature reaches 205°F (96°C) and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool: Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing. Serve as is, or add toppings.
Notes
Use blanched almond flour, not almond meal, for best texture.
Full-fat Greek yogurt (5% or higher) gives optimal moisture and richness.
Do not overmix the batter — fold gently to avoid dense texture.
Check freshness of baking powder/soda for proper rise.
Easily customize with flavor variations (e.g., Lemon Raspberry, Chocolate Espresso, Coconut, etc.).
