  • 1 9" Cake Pan You can also use two 4" cake pans.

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Almond Flour
  • 1 Cup Cassava Flour
  • 1+½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ Cup Almond Milk Or any non-dairy milk.
  • ½ Cup Coconut Sugar Or any granulated sugar.
  • 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 3 Teaaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil, Melted

Berries

  • 2 Cups Fresh Berries I used strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Any berries will work!

Coconut Whipped Cream

  • 1-2 Cups Coconut Whipped Cream You can also use regular vanilla frosting or fresh whipped cream.

Instructions
 

  • Start by mixing all dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Next, add all wet ingredients into a separate mixing bowl. Use a whisk or hand mixer to blend.
  • Then fold together the dry mixture and wet mixture until all of the flour has been absorbed.
  • Pour the cake batter into a greased 9" cake pan. Bake the cake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes.
  • Once the cake is done baking, remove from the oven and place on a metal rack to cool.
  • After the cake has cooled, carefully remove it from the cake pan and cut in half the long way with a sharp knife.
  • Cover the bottom half with fresh whipped cream and berries then place the top half of the cake on the bottom layer.
  • Finally, cover the entire cake with fresh cream and top with fresh berries! Store in the refrigerator until you're ready to enjoy.

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Make sure you clean the fruit and pat dry before adding to the cake. For more information, check out my post on how to make your own fruit wash.
  • Do not let the cake bake too long or it will dry out. Remove from the oven after about 25 minutes to check if it's done with a toothpick. The top will be slightly golden brown.
  • Spoon the cassava flour into the measuring cup to ensure it's not packed. Scrape off the excess with a knife.
  • For best results, assemble the cake the day you're planning to serve. You can make the vanilla cake the day before but assemble the cake the morning of so it's fresh!

How To Store Leftovers

Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can store cake slices individually or half of the cake!
If you're not planning to eat leftovers within the first 3 days, cut into small slices and freeze in a freezer safe bag or container.
