Apple Cinnamon Cake

Tossing the diced apples in cinnamon and a spoonful of almond flour before folding them into the batter is what keeps them evenly distributed instead of sinking into a soggy layer at the bottom.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup allulose
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 apples, peeled and diced small
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (for apples)

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F and grease and line an 8-inch round pan.

  2. 2

    Toss the diced apples with 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of the almond flour (reserved from the total) until lightly coated — this light coating is what keeps the apple pieces evenly distributed through the batter instead of all sinking down into one soggy, dense layer at the bottom of the cake.

  3. 3

    Whisk remaining almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.

  4. 4

    Cream dairy-free butter and allulose until fluffy, beat in eggs and vanilla, then fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

  5. 5

    Fold in the floured apples, pour into the prepared pan, and bake 34-38 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
