Ingredients
  

  • 240 g almond flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 120 g pure maple syrup
  • 60 g coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 60 ml unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped
For the glaze
  • 30 g pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and almond milk until smooth and uniform.
  1. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined, then fold in the chopped walnuts.
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes until edges pull away from the sides and a toothpick comes out clean.
  1. For the glaze, combine maple syrup, coconut oil, and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Heat over medium until melted and smooth.
  1. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Once cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Notes

Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the batter enhances their flavor and adds crunch. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
