This little cake is a staple in my kitchen when I need something sweet without a lot of fuss. It has a lovely floral honey flavor and a tender crumb that feels so cozy, especially when it is still slightly warm from the oven.

You do not need a fancy mixer to get this right. Since it is dairy free and gluten free, it is a great treat to keep on hand for guests with different dietary needs. Just make sure to use a high quality honey because it really shines in this simple recipe.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour

1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds for topping

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard loaf pan with a little coconut oil.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Add the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the dry ingredients.
4

5
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.

Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to make it ahead, you can freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic for up to a month. It tastes wonderful served with a little dollop of coconut whipped cream on the side.
