Ingredients
· 1 cup of Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat or 2% recommended)
· 1/2 cup of almond flour (finely ground for best texture)
· 1/4 cup of coconut flour (absorbs moisture, do not substitute)
· 2 tablespoons of honey (optional, for sweetness; maple syrup works too)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (for warm flavor)
· 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (to help it rise slightly)Flora & Fauna
· A pinch of salt (enhances all the flavors)
· 1/4 cup of chopped almonds or coconut flakes (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Make sure there are no clumps.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate, larger bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey (if using), and vanilla extract until they are smooth and well combined.
Combine Both Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined and a smooth, thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Prepare the Pan: Grease a small cake pan or loaf pan thoroughly with butter or oil, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
