Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coarsely ground pistachios
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cake batter evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coarsely ground pistachios, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to distribute the leavening agent and sweetener evenly among the dry ingredients.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined. This will add moisture and richness to the batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture in the cake.
- Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the batter to distribute them without breaking them up too much, preserving their shape and juiciness.
- Prepare the Cake Pan: Grease your cake pan thoroughly to prevent sticking, then pour the batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. This helps the texture set and flavors to develop.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture, but frozen raspberries can be substituted if necessary; just thaw and drain excess liquid before folding in.
- Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot when mixing with eggs to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For an extra touch, dust the top with a little powdered erythritol or garnish with extra pistachios before serving.
- Make sure to grease the cake pan well or line it with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
