Low Histamine/Gluten Free Almond Cake

This almond cake is delicious. The original is posted on https://cookieandkate.com/gluten-free-almond-cake-recipe/. I made a few adjustments to lower the  histamine. If you react to egg white, try replacing the whites with an equal volume of milk laced with a binder, such as xanthan gum.

2 cup almond flour

1 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp salt

4 large eggs

⅔ cup maple syrup (or coconut sugar)

¼ cup butter (57g)

½ tsp. pure vanilla extract

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC with the rack in the middle. Generously coat an    8″/20cm springform pan with cooking spray and dust with almond meal to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients with a spoon until combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until golden all over and firm on top, 35 to 40 minutes.
  5.  Run a knife around the edges to loosen and let cool before serving with any of the toppings listed above.
