Description

This wholesome and fluffy cake is crafted with almond and oat flours and naturally sweetened with maple syrup for a guilt-free treat. It offers a classic bakery-style flavor with a moist crumb, making it an ideal choice for celebrations or a simple afternoon dessert.


Ingredients

  • Almond flour
  • Oat flour
  • Maple syrup
  • Melted coconut oil
  • Eggs, room temperature
  • Dairy-free milk
  • Vanilla extract
  • Almond extract
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Rainbow sprinkles


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and grease three 6-inch cake pans with cooking spray or coconut oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, dairy-free milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt, whisking to remove any lumps.
  4. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined, then gently stir in the rainbow sprinkles.
  5. Distribute the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

To ensure a perfectly smooth batter, bring your refrigerated ingredients to room temperature so the coconut oil remains liquid during mixing. If you do not have three pans, you can bake this in a single larger pan, though you will need to adjust the baking time accordingly.
