Ingredients
150 grams almond flour (Almond Cake)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (Almond Cake)
1/4 teaspoon salt (Almond Cake)
4 large eggs, whites and yolks separated (Almond Cake)
1/2 cup honey (Almond Cake)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Almond Cake)
1 cup whipping cream (Whipped Cream)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (Whipped Cream)
12 sliced strawberries (Topping)
50 grams dark chocolate
Directions
Almond Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Evenly coat a 9" springform pan with butter and a sprinkle of flour to prevent sticking, and line bottom with a round of parchment paper. Set aside.
- Arrange strawberry slices in an even layer on the parchment round.
- Prepare the egg whites. Beat with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form, then set aside.
- Combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Whisk to incorporate.
- In a large bowl, add the egg yolks, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the almond flour mixture until completely incorporated.
- Gently fold half of the egg whites into the almond flour mixture, then add the remaining egg whites. Gently fold until a smooth even consistency is achieved. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until the cake is deep golden in color, and when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool cake on a wire rack for 10 minutes; then remove it from the spring form. Turn it out of the pan, remove parchment paper and cool completely.
Whipped Cream
- Add cream, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Beat with a hand or stand mixer on until cream thickens. Pipe or scoop onto the cake.
Topping
