Almond Flour Banana Cake
Almond Flour Banana Cake is the kind of thing you bake when the kitchen's quiet, the bananas are soft, and you want something warm and familiar without being predictable.
Servings: 12
Equipment
- 9 inch springform pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup mashed banana , (about 2 medium)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Butter a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
- On a small baking sheet, toast the 1 cup chopped walnuts in the preheated oven (350F) for about 10 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice during baking to ensure they don't burn. Note: you can also do this on a plate in the microwave on high for 2 minutes.)
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the 3 large eggs, 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup mashed banana , and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk well for about a minute to get everything really well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 3 cups almond flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cardamom, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together to combine. Fold in the chopped toasted walnuts at the end.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth it out so it's even. Bake for about 45-55 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and set in the middle.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes in the pan before carefully unmolding.
- Serve with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
Store your almond flour banana cake covered at room temperature for a couple of days, or refrigerate it to keep it fresh all week. It also freezes beautifully ~ just wrap it well and thaw when the craving hits.
