Method
 

Cake Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cake bakes evenly and rises perfectly.
  2. Combine in a large mixing bowl the almond flour, oat flour, eggs, maple syrup, coconut sugar, butter, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. Make sure the pan is evenly coated to help the cake release without sticking.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Look for a golden-brown top—it’s a sign that your cake is ready!
  5. Prepare the frosting while the cake is baking. In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. This will make a creamy and luscious frosting.
  6. Cool the cake completely before frosting. This step is key to preventing the frosting from melting and ensures a beautiful presentation.
  7. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cooled cake. Use a spatula or a knife to create swirls for extra visual appeal.
  8. Slice into 12 pieces and serve. Enjoy the smiles that come with each slice of this fluffy gluten free maple cake!
