This Almond Flour Vanilla Cake is light, fluffy, and has the perfect amount of sweetness! Your friends and family will never guess it's made simple, healthy ingredients. Perfect for Birthdays, Valentine's Day, or any special occasion!
Start by adding the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl. Use a whisk or fork to blend until fully combined. (Make sure to break up any flour clumps.)
Next, add the eggs, applesauce, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar into a separate bowl. Whisk together.
Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture, and fold together with a spatula until all of the flour is absorbed.
Baking
Add the cake batter to a 9" cake pan. (Grease or use parchment paper at the bottom of the pan.) Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool to room temperature before removing. Gently flip the cake over onto a plate to remove from the cake pan. Serve with your favorite frosting and fresh fruit on top!

Baking Tips
Do not pack the almond flour into the cup. Use a spoon to scoop it into the measuring cup and scrape off the excess with a knife.
Line the bottom of your cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal. You can use pre-cut round parchment paper or cut it yourself!
Top the cake with fresh strawberries, raspberries, or cherries! It adds color and another layer of flavor!
To make a layer cake, you can double the recipe or use two smaller 6" cake pans.
