Description
A delightful Almond Joy Cake that combines almond flour, chocolate chips, and shredded coconut for a rich and flavorful dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a layer of chocolate ganache on top after the cake has cooled.
- You can substitute the chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit for a different texture and taste.
- If you prefer a lighter version, reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup and replace half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce.
