Italian Honey Almond Snack Cake

This golden, fragrant loaf brings the warmth of an Italian kitchen straight to your breakfast table—moist, naturally sweet, and so simple you'll want to make it every week.

Ingredients:

• 1¾ cups almond flour
• ½ cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ¾ cup raw honey
• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup almond butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons sliced almonds for topping

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest in a bowl.
3. In another bowl, blend honey, eggs, almond butter, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined—don't overmix.
5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and top with sliced almonds.
6. Bake 30–35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden.
7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
