Ingredients:
3 cups Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour
3 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
6 Tbsp Raw Honey
1/2 cup Butter, room temperature
1 cup Sugar
8 Eggs, separated
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Almond Extract
Frosting:
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Butter, softened
1 tsp Vanilla
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt, and whisk together.
In a separate bowl, combine butter, honey, and sugar, and beat together until smooth. Add egg yolks, vanilla, and almond extract and beat until combined. Slowly add dry ingredients and mix until blended.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until very foamy and white. Add egg whites to batter and fold in until cake batter is smooth.
Divide batter evenly between two 9-inch round cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool in the pan on wire rack for 30 minutes, then remove from pans.
While cakes are cooling, make your frosting by combining cream cheese, butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, and cinnamon, and beating together until a soft, smooth frosting forms.
Take 1 cake round, place on a plate, and frost the top.
Place the second round on top of the frosted cake.
Using remaining frosting, frost the top and sides of the cake. Slice and serve.
