Ingredients

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1 cup almond butter (try my recipe on the site or a creamy store-bought brand)
  • 2 large egg
  • 6 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup organic pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup organic raw cacao powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Using parchment paper-lined a 7-inch cake pa ( a 6-inch cake pan or 8-inch cast-iron skillet will also work).

  2. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl, and using an electric mixer, mix for several minutes in well mixed.

    You can also mix in a bowl with a wooden spoon or spatula if desired.  If you go this route, you should probably whisk the almond flour to get out all the lumps and then add the remaining ingredients.

  3. Pour batter into prepared cast iron skillet and smooth batter.

  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.  Baking time will depend on the size cake pan you use and your oven.

    Cool completely before icing/frosting.
