Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, cut into a circle to fit, and then grease with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add in the beaten eggs, melted butter, vanilla and almond extract. Stir until well combined.
