Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

½ tablespoon butter (for pan)
4 large eggs
½ cup honey (real or sugar-free*)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1½ cups blanched finely ground almond flour ((6 oz)**)
1/4 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda***

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease an 8-inch nonstick cake pan with soft butter.
In a large bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. One by one, gradually whisk in the honey, vanilla, almond flour, kosher salt, and baking soda. Don't over mix the batter - overworked batter can cause the middle of the cake to collapse as it cools.
Use a spatula to transfer the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake until fragrant and set and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 22-25 minutes.
Cool the cake, in the pan on a cooling rack, for 10 minutes. Then invert it onto the cooling rack and cool for 20 more minutes before slicing and serving.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup almond paste (not marzipan)
10 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon Amaretto
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and position the rack to the center of the oven. Line the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan with a round of parchment paper, or butter and dust it lightly with flour, tapping out any excess.
With an electric mixer, beat together the sugar and almond paste until the paste is finely broken up (the sugar crystals help break the paste into pieces--so don't add the butter yet!).
Now add the butter and beat for a few minutes until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl stir together the eggs with a fork then dribble it into the batter as you beat. Add the vanilla.
Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt with a whisk. Stir the dry ingredients into the batter until just incorporated.
Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may take a bit longer due to the variation in different brands of almond paste.
Cool the cake on a rack before serving.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid mistakes.
Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
Don't open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
