Almond Flour Pumpkin Cake

Here’s a simple recipe for an almond flour pumpkin cake:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or any other neutral oil)
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add in the pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, you can optionally dust the cake with powdered sugar or top it with a simple cream cheese frosting for extra sweetness.
9. Slice and serve! Enjoy your delicious almond flour pumpkin cake.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less honey/maple syrup. Enjoy your pumpkin cake!
