Ingredients

  • ½ cup honey
  • cup extra virgin olive oil
  • cup dairy-free Greek yogurt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract optional
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest from 2 lemons
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼-½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup honey, ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil, ⅓ cup dairy-free Greek yogurt, 3 whole eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon almond extract. Whisk vigorously until smooth.
  • To the bowl, add 1 cup almond flour, 1 cup oat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder and ¼-½ teaspoon salt, depending on your preference. Fold together and stir, until a smooth batter forms. You don't have to worry about over stirring so be sure to keep stirring until all of the lumps are gone.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until edges are golden brown and the center is firm to the touch. Set aside to cool completely before slicing.
  • Serve with a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy!
